This study considers the details of development and use of a model of the visualization
process to transform data in a warehouse to required insight. In the context of this study,
`visualization process' refers to a step-wise methodology to develop enhanced insight by
using visualization techniques. The model, named RoutePlanner, was developed by the
researcher from a theoretical perspective and was then used and evaluated practically in the
domain of insurance brokerage.
The study highlights the proposed model, which comprises stages for the identification of the
relevant data, selection of visualization methods and evaluation of the visualizations,
undergirded by a set of practical guidelines. To determine the effect of the use of
RoutePlanner an experiment was conducted to test a theory. The practical utility of
RoutePlanner was assessed during an evaluation-of-use study.
The goal of this study is to present the RoutePlanner model and the effect of its use. / Theoretical Computing / M.Sc. (Information Systems)
