The topic of visualization is becoming more and more important for a fast and secure communication of information. Simple but meaningful representations of information support the decision maker better in capturing correlations, patterns or outliers than tables or decorative elements could - such as pie charts or speedometers. Good information design allows a quick and effective overview on their business.

Hichert®SUCCESS is a set of rules by Rolf Hichert which build a guideline for the correct use of meaningful visualizations in reporting. With our graphomate charts extension, we cast Hichert®SUCCESS into a piece of software which is easy to use and fully integrated in SAP Lumira Designer. With this extension it is easy to represent the rules of Information Design according to Edward Tufte and Stephen Few. Our customers quickly voiced the wish for similarly simple to use solution for Microsoft Excel. Technologically, we used the same (HTML5) code base, so that graphomate charts for Excel can be used exactly as our SAP Lumira Designer extension: most settings can be changed in the easy-to-use Additional Properties Sheet, with further customizations being available in the Basic Properties.

If you have found errors or want to express wishes for further development, we would like to invite you to our Support Desk, where you can file bug reports or feature requests. The latest version of the add-in contains a closer integration of SAP Analysis for Mircosoft Office, the possibility to export charts directly from SAP Lumira Designer to Excel, including data, as well as a more dynamical integration of Microsoft PowerPoint.
