Why visualisation
is so important

Ninety percent of all information that comes to the brain is visual. Graphical content reaches an individual’s brain in a faster and more understandable way than textual information. Some sources even suggest that visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text. Additionally, graphically we can communicate complicated facts in more simple and more understandable way.

Scope of the

solution

BVP is able to on-line visualise current data of approved and adjusted budgets,

as well as history and current status of public spending. Numbers are shown at

the level of budget units (organizations), key spending units (line ministries) and government level. All state organizations as well as municipalities (self-governing regions, cities and villages) are included. The range and depth of published data

is a matter of configuration, according to clients’ needs and requirements.

BVP can operate with defined number of budget classifications. It shows hierarchic relations (in terms of organizational level and amount of budget funds) with complex but easy-to-use full-text search engine. Based on client requirements,
