Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems empower employees with access to vast amounts of data from across the organization. Learning how to navigate an enterprise system and explore the data within, however, can require herculean effort. Despite the efficacy of visualizations for enhancing knowledge discovery and exploration, they have yet to be applied to assisting users of ERP systems. In this paper, we present two visualization components designed specifically for those users. The first provides an easy-to-use search interface for visualizing relationships between data entities, while the second supports navigation via an interactive map. Both have been implemented in a prototype for validation in future studies.
