Dashboard Platform

You have a dashboard in your car don’t you?A quick glance at the dashboard in your car will instantly tell you your speed, amount of gas left and if there is a problem with your engine. What if you could do the same for your business, projects and other corporate processes? Well, now you can.

The FindOut Dashboard PlatformThe FindOut Dashboard Platform is a technology to quickly design and develop efficient dashboard solutions. Built on a robust Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) you can start by implementing a few KPIs and then add more as you identify new metrics you want to observe. And once your dashboard has been designed, you can easily make the data available over your intranet or via the Internet.

Not everyone wants to look at sales projectionsOur dashboard solution offers role-based views, i.e. people can have their dashboard views tailored to what they actually want to see. This allows Sales Managers to track sales figures, Production Managers to observe production line status, Project

Managers to keep an eye on-going projects and for management to measure financial performance.

And more importantly, you can make a larger group pay attention because it’s so easy to understand the information presented. Let’s say that you have a problem with machine stoppage on your production line.

By selecting a few important key performance indicators it is possible to measure improvement over time. Let’s say that a company’s business plan for next year has stated goals for total production errors, customer product return level and support delays. By formulating good indicators and display-ing them in a dashboard, it’s easy to visualize improvement.

Here’s another example of the importance of measuring before you make a decision. A large product development company used a complex project methodology which called for a large number of documents to be created during the project process. By designing a dashboard which displayed how documents were used they were able to quickly remove documents that weren’t used, improve their project methodology and save both time and money.

A FeW DASHBOArD SOLUTIOnS Dashboard technology is typically associated with fi nancial performance but they can be used to visualize any number of important company measurements.

A dashboard is the perfect solution to a very common problem; how do you quickly communicate the status of one or more large complex projects to all project members and other stake-holders? By choosing a select set of graphical dashboard objects it’s possible to show a project’s current status at a quick glance.
