1. Import your search results
VantagePoint mines search results from a wide variety of structured text databases from most on-line
sources. Data from Excel and Access can also be imported. See the back cover for more details.
2. Clean the data
Text databases frequently contain inconsistencies in the way names of companies and people are
stored. VantagePoint provides tools to automatically and interactively clean your dataset. You can
accumulate the cleanup actions in a thesaurus, which can be shared and applied again and again,
eliminating duplicated work.
3. Analyze your data and see it from many vantage points
Rarely does one picture tell the whole story, and when it does it is seldom the first picture you see.
As you work with the data, you must interact with and look at the information in several ways.
VantagePoint has a rich set of visualizations for analyzing your data and communicating your results.
4. Automate your analysis process
Many types of analyses become routine and need to be repeated often. By using VantagePoint’s
Visual Basic Scripting you can replicate your process, saving time and improving the consistency of
your analytical results.
VantagePoint’s interactive environment offers:
Multiple analytical views in a workbook format
Title view with easy drill-down to the individual records
Detail windows for a customizable dashboard
One-click access to dozens of powerful VantagePoint macros
Context-sensitive help
An Analyst Guide, with convenient access to on-line resources
Analyze search results from virtually any
structured text database
