Visual Analysis of Hierarchical Management Data

The salesforce management data in Thomson Reuters is often having multiple hierarchies and dependencies. However, the conventional business graphics are not sufficient for presenting and exploring such data sets. The Treemap is proved to be effective for depicting hierarchical data, although it lacks the structural clarity such that distinguishing the different levels within the treemap is difficult. In this paper, we develop a system which enables the structure-aware treemap using coordinated multiple views. The design of this system includes the hierarchy extraction, structure tracing and the direct manipulation on the treemap. We demonstrate our result on various sales force management data sets from Thomson Reuters.
