Business

Information Design is very important in business - from presentations, to business software applications, to marketing and advertising materials - effective communication design can have a dramatic impact on the "bottom line."

Agilent Technologies is an example of a company that relies on the visualization of information as a key component of their business. Agilent creates electronic and bio-analytical measurement tools for the electronics, communications, life science research, environmental and petrochemical industries. Agilent's Life Sciences Lab-on-a-Chip instruments perform analysis of DNA, proteins and other large molecules.

Agilent's Bit Error Ratio Test solutions test high-speed communication ports for semiconductor chips, components, modules and line-cards in the semiconductor, computation and communication industry. Agilent's applications provide in-depth insight into measurement tasks for devices with gigabit interfaces, such as PCI Express, Fibre Channel, 10Gb Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and more.

The medical community relies heavily on the visualization of data. Examples of this are x-ray, CT scan, MRI, and sonogram technologies. •
