How ZingChart Can Help Web Devs Create Analytics Charts

by Sarah at Zing

The ability to visualize data analytics has never been more important than it is now, at a time when the amount of data being generated on a global scale continues to grow exponentially. Without a way to visualize the ever-growing amount of inert data being amassed by companies across all industries, they stand to miss out on the business insights and opportunities that analytics can provide.

From identifying trends and fluctuations, to visualizing funnels and comparisons over time, to summarizing subjective performance and proportional totals – there are many ways developers can visualize companies' analytics data to transform it into more useful information. The question is how best to do it.

For web developers who build apps and websites that include analytics components, the challenge of visualizing data to maximize its informative power is still uncharted territory in many ways. From a multitude of device compatibility and scaling concerns, to a variety of integration considerations, there's a lot of thought that has to go into the way developers choose to integrate digital charts into their projects.
