<h1><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext">Piktochart is a web-based program perfect for easily designing and creating professional-level infographics. The Oregon Employment Department uses Piktochart to help visualize
large datasets and help customers focus in on the important stories. In the past, we’ve used Piktochart for displaying wage data, unemployment data, and minimum wage data. Piktochart can even be used to create a nice set of slides for a formal presentation.
Best of all, it is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive!</span><o:p></o:p></h1>

Recent advancements in web based mapping tools have enabled State agencies to analyze, build, and share maps more easily to the public. This presentation focuses on the techniques, tools, and resources that are available to the State to visualize and share
data with online maps!</span><o:p></o:p></h1>

Software and Information Industry Association, “Best Overall in Data Visualization” by the DM Review and “Best of 2005 for Data Analysis” by PC Magazine. Tableau is a great tool to visualize masses of multidimensional data, helping you identify trends and
locate deviations that merit further analysis. I will demo how we – the Oregon Employment Department research staff – use Tableau in our research and data visualization purposes.</span><o:p></o:p></h1>
