A yWorks (yEd Graph Editor / yEd Live) Case Study
Varigence, a company specializing in data solution automation, faced the challenge of managing the immense complexity of data logistics processes, which can number in the thousands. Manually developing and maintaining these processes was extremely time-consuming, especially given the rapid pace of change in data requirements and IT systems. To address this, they sought to enhance their flagship product BimlFlex with a powerful graphical interface for designing data solutions and visualizing data lineage.
By integrating the yFiles graph visualization library from yWorks, Varigence was able to build an interactive and immersive design experience into BimlFlex. The solution provided strong auto-layout features and great visuals, allowing users to directly interact with and modify proposed data models and lineage relationships. Utilizing yFiles' extensive demo code accelerated development, enabling features like Sankey diagrams for clear column mapping. This integration improved the platform's performance and scalability, streamlined user processes, and allowed Varigence to seamlessly implement new diagramming features to better serve its customers.
