Abstract
A system and method for creating a visual perspective of operational information that facilitates rapid decision making. The system and method merges existing data sources from any number of computer-fed external data sources through an applications server to display data set in easily recognizable, repeatable images (tiles) uniquely designed for a user'"'"'s application. The system and method create visual perspectives of data that accelerate decision-making and problem solving processes by displaying repeatable images (tiles) that display performance results verses expected performance criteria in high-volume, intuitive displays.
