Business intelligence dashboards are a mainstay in today’s enterprise-class data analytics tools, and for good reason. Business users regardless of skill level can use these capabilities in order to better understand what is going on inside their organization. Dashboards make it easy for a company to visualize their data by displaying metrics, graphs, gauges, maps, percentages and comparisons of all the information that is streaming in and out of the company. By viewing data this way, the learning curve and time-to-insight are shortened significantly, allowing executives to act on findings sooner.
Dashboards help IT to quickly convert and communicate complex corporate data into meaningful visualizations, revealing key performance indicators (KPIs). Thus, executives are given all the tools they need to drill down even deeper into the analysis so they may reveal what’s really going on. Dashboards have, in effect, eliminated the need to sift through multiple reports, and in some cases, the data is updated in near real-time. Users also have the ability to custom-fit each dashboard with predefined metrics which allows for even faster data tracking.
