The idea behind VIS4 is to offer consulting services, design and development of software systems for organizations that work in different areas and need applications to handle large amount of data in order to get information from them quickly and efficiently. The complexity of these kind of information systems make them need automatic or semi-automatic tools for the analysis of data and relationships in order to get strategic information and knowledge.

VIS4 proposes a new methodology coming from a relatively new field of computer science that studies how to get knowledge from data by the means of visualization. Images shown to users do not pretend to substitute the human mind in the whole process of extracting information from data, instead they support users in the knowledge process by effectively show how data are made and what are the relationships among them. Moreover a visual environment helps users interacting with the drawing in order to simplify it or go into details.
