About Fractal Maps
Business Benefits
Fractal Maps offer serious cost savings to businesses as well as improving the effectiveness and decision-making of information workers:
- Fractal Maps speed and improve executive analysis and reduce decision-cycles by instantly singling out key business variables and performance or trend data from tens or even hundreds of thousands of items. This increases revenues and boosts profitability, in some contexts, for instance fund management, resulting potentially in millions of dollars of extra profit.
- Fractal Maps save browse and search time for users at all levels of an organization by enabling them to browse massive amounts of data and select the individual item they wish to examine in detail very quickly. Using a Fractal Map an operator would typically cut the time they spend navigating in a local context by 75% or more. Since, according to Autonomy, employees are currently spending an hour-a-day navigating and searching for information, this percentage equates to each employee saving on average 45 minutes per day, representing significant productivity enhancements and/or wage reductions. In a remote navigation context, Fractal Maps' extremely efficient consumption of bandwidth increases these benefits still further.
- In a network context Fractal Maps save bandwidth by delivering these improved decision making processes via highly compact resource files and optimized display code, reducing costs associated with both internal and external information delivery.
By moving your mouse over a circle and "hovering" over it (by keeping the mouse still) for a short time, you will see labels appear to show you the titles of the page you are hovering over (at 12 o'clock) and the pages it is linked to.
In addition, the Fractal Map will show a "crumb trail" for the page you are viewing by highlighting the relevant circles in red. The smallest red circle represents the page you are viewing and any "parent" pages higher up in the website structure will also be highlighted red showing you the route you would take to reach the page. Note that the homepage itself is never coloured red in this way.
