Budget visualization platform
A comprehensible way of presenting complex information
The budget visualization platform is a comprehensive tool designed to present public finance data in a modern, user-friendly, and interactive way. It displays data in a highly comprehensible manner, contributing to improved awareness and transparency in public finance management.
Why is visualization so important
Ninety percent of all information received by the brain is visual. Graphic content reaches the individual’s brain faster and more comprehensibly than textual information. Some sources even state that visual information is processed 60,000 times faster than text. Additionally, graphic representation allows for simpler and clearer communication of complex facts.
Range of the solution
The platform can create an online visualization of current data on approved and adjusted budgets, as well as the history and current status of public expenditures. The figures are displayed at the level of budgetary units (organizations), key spending units (ministries), and the government level. All state organizations, as well as municipalities (self-governing regions, cities, and towns), are included. The scope and depth of published data are configurable based on the needs and requirements of clients.
The platform can work with a defined number of budget classifications. It displays hierarchical relationships (in terms of organizational level and budgetary amounts) with a comprehensive and user-friendly full-text search engine. Based on client requirements, the solution can present detailed data on budget adjustments, including supporting documents. All presented data can be downloaded in two formats (CSV and PDF); interconnectivity and transparency are ensured by providing access to the data through an open API interface.
Public budget data made comprehensible for everyone
The budget visualization platform provides graphical (interactive charts and animated videos), numerical, and textual information about public budgets, public expenditures, and the key tasks and objectives of the public sector.
