As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

The New York Times is a leader in online, interactive statistical visualization.
Here's a recent example that statistically re-stacks exit poll results regarding how each state voted for Obama and Clinton during the just completed 2008 Democratic Party Presidential Primaries.
Choose by sex, income, race, age, income and education, and watch as each state - represented by a block - is re-positioned according to how close or how far each state is percentage-wise away from the interesection of the X/Y axes. Run your pointer over each state's block, too, to gather statistical data specific to each state.
