This diploma thesis deals with the Business Intelligence reporting tools and more especially with their data visualization capabilities. There are a lot of different reporting and analytic tools focusing for example on ad-hoc query, tool for creating dashboards or scorecards, visual discovery tools and advanced analytical tools for data mining etc. This work, however, is focused especially on selected enterprise reporting tools and data visualization tools as well as their possibilities of data isualizations, i.e. using different types of graphs and other possible advanced data visualizations. The Business Intelligence fundamentals together with the possible the reporting and analysis visual outputs are described at the beginning of this diploma work. The reporting itself is also putted into the context of the Business Intelligence solution. The next section is focus on the visual possibilities of data visualization in BI reporting tools. It means that I created the list of possible BI data visualizations with the detail specifications and showing examples on each of them. After this part, there are shown proper data visualizations for each of the selected BI domains, like finance, sales, marketing and human resources. This output belong to one of the main contributions of this work and also could be practically useful in the process of report creation and selection for Clever Decision's BI reporting needs. In the next chapter I compare the visual possibilities for each of the selected BI reporting tools according to Gartner. To this purpose the official documentations will be used as well as my personal experience gained from using some of selected reporting tools. In the last section there are detail views for each of two selected advanced data visualizations including a detail specification on each of them as well as his possible usage in practice and possibilities for further extension as well. The source of information in this section will be professional electronic resources focused on data visualization, design and so on.
