NEW REPORT: Top Trends in Culture Technology
Gaining insight into relevant, up-to-date information about usage and trends is essential for decision-making in libraries. With V-insight, data analysis and visualization come together in a browser interface, combining in-depth analysis with ease of use.
V-insight improves effective analysis into each library’s area and helps each department make better decisions with a user-friendly application dedicated to their business.
Critical statistical analysis
V-insight provides libraries with the performance indicators and measurements they need for critical statistical analysis. The web-based interface automatically creates and publishes dashboards that can be customized so each user can track specific chosen data at a glance in a graphic environment. Users just need to select periods (day, month, quarter, calendar year, fiscal year) and items of interest to access accurate data analysis and visualize information in a visually appealing format to support their decision making and actions.
V-insight easily adapts to specific security requirements. The library can define different access levels for both users and user groups where they can only see authorized data. Access rights can be defined at different levels: functional level (e.g., loan statistics only), location level (e.g., only for branch A) or analysis level (e.g., specific criteria).
Dynamic analytics tools
Not only are our analytics tools dynamic but they can also be used to discover on-the-fly insight. Additionally, users can combine multiple criteria to answer more complex questions such as “the distribution by age and gender of users living in a specific town who borrowed more than nine materials last year and also subscribed to a newsletter.” This type of analysis can easily be performed because all criteria from a cube can act as a “restriction” for the request.
Without technical barrier
V-insight unites strength and speed of implementation. It does not require any pre-configuration. Set up and training can also be accomplished quickly. Therefore, it achieves a high ROI. Technology is transparent with a user-friendly navigation so users only focus on their objective with no technical barrier.
V-insight is an integral part of our user centered architecture (UCA) approach and supports libraries as they become a customer-oriented organization and better adapt to trends and patrons needs with user’s behavior analysis. Individual records can easily be exported from dashboards to Microsoft® Excel® allowing immediate action and highly targeted marketing campaigns based on e.g. customer interests, subscriptions type, membership renewal dates, and low or high material demand.
Click on a part of a pie to view only data for the segment in question. Use all criteria in a cube as a restriction. There is support for a wide range of operators (greater than, smaller than, equal to, follows, contains, equal to one of, of a certain size or pattern such as “starts with a capital letter and ends with a dot”). Data from different cubes can be combined for even deeper analysis.
This feature shows the most popular works (for items or descriptions). For example, users can determine “what is loaned most often or reserved or most viewed on the website in a particular year or quarter.” These lists can be viewed at a global level and also for specific types of materials (e.g., DVDs only), customer categories (e.g., only customers with membership "Top"), age groups (for example, only children under five) or location (only at a certain branch) and topic groups (e.g., only music from the "soul" category).
Dashboards offer quick visual analysis. Users gain access to statistics via easy-to-use dropdown lists, based on rights and preferences. The dashboard overviews are generated dynamically; statistical analyzes are not based on static data, but are produced in real time, allowing users to create all kinds of data overviews on request.
Will allow you to show your dashboards graphs outside the V-insight interface: a graph or statistical results can be published dynamically on e.g. the library’s web page.
A particularly useful feature is the capability to group data either at storage in the data warehouse or in the display, as well as translating data code into meaningful descriptions. For example, even though customer ages are stored as a number (e.g., 9 nine years old), the results can be grouped as desired by the library such as 0-4= Toddler, 5-12=Youth, 13-19=Teen, etc. for easier visualization.
The V-smart ILS is the default data source of V-insight. An additional application, Open V-insight, allows to import data from external resources. It supports any source and can process the most diverse types of data, regardless of its origin. Imports can be generated automatically enabling data processing without human intervention.
