Business Intelligence Technologies in an Organization

From S. Sudharsan, Michigan DOE & NAPE presentation at Data Quality Institute 2013

Dashboard Definition

Stephen Few

“A dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives; consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be monitored at a glance.”


12

Visual Analysis Tools • “…tools that offer the ability to select various

date ranges, pick different products, or drill down to more detailed data”

• Highly interactive and functionality like filtering and drill downs

• Primarily used to find correlations, trends, outliers (anomalies), patterns, and business conditions in data

• Tableau software used by NAPE
