LANSING, MI, November 19, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- IDV Solutions announced today the release of District Mojo, an interactive map and data visualization built on Visual Fusion 5.0. Visual Fusion is innovative business intelligence software that unites data sources in a web-based, visual context for better insight and understanding.

District Mojo opens up the world of U.S. Congressional Districts and the tradition of gerrymandering, the practice of creating oddly shaped voting districts for political advantage. Lampooned when it first happened in 1812, the creativity of politically motivated district drawing has resulted in some remarkable geographic shapes. District Mojo uses data visualization and interactivity to highlight the more interesting examples and rate every congressional district based on its "gerrymanderedness". With the 2010 Census prompting states to redistrict in the near future, understanding this topic is important for all Americans.

District Mojo takes United States Congressional District data and puts it in the interactive context of charts, graphs, and a map. Data for this application is stored in SQL Azure, Microsoft's self-managing, scalable, business-ready cloud storage. Visual Fusion 5.0 consumes many other data sources as well, such as SharePoint Lists, Excel Files, and ArcSDE content. Microsoft's Bing Maps serves as the canvas for visualizing all the district information in the informative context of location.

Released on October 26, Visual Fusion 5.0 takes the product's location intelligence and data visualization capabilities to a new level by adding complementary analytics out of the box. Now business users can see their data in the full context of location, time, and analytics, each context interacting with and amplifying the others. The new visualization, interaction, and application-building capabilities in this 5.0 release highlight the main value points Visual Fusion brings to the enterprise: enhanced insight, increased productivity, and business agility.
