You can visualize the variance (difference of the value), but how can you visualize the contributing and offsetting factors to that change drilling down into different dimensions? NLG tech explains this; visualizing drivers and offsets with graphs and charts is sometimes very difficult. It is very easy and quick to understand explanations in natural language.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Maribel: What differentiates Arria from the competition?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Kapila: <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our Power BI plug-in allows people to analyze data in lots of different ways. The approach we have taken at Arria for most of our narratives is explaining trends, variance, and statistical analysis. Whatever we do, we go into&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">detail (drill downs).&nbsp;Business executives&nbsp;need&nbsp;this analysis in different dimensions (for example&nbsp;weekly, quarterly,&nbsp;etc<\/span><\/i><span><i>.<\/i><\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) and&nbsp;sales&nbsp;may need to&nbsp;analyze&nbsp;from another perspective&nbsp;(e.g.,&nbsp;product, country, location).&nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:708,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Arria Answers makes it easier to analyze your data. You can get insights simply by querying the data using natural-language queries.
