Portable Dashboards
Information Builders enables the dynamic distribution of dashboards to anyone, anywhere, without constraints. Executives and operational managers can work online or offline, accessing Active Technology dashboards on websites and portals, saving them on their personal computers or mobile devices, receiving them as e-mail attachments, or forwarding them to other users. Events can be continuously gauged, and immediate action can be taken to maintain optimum efficiency in key business processes.
It is a revolutionary technology that enables pervasive business intelligence deployments in some of the largest companies in the world. Here are some of the amazing characteristics of our Active Technologies:
- Enhance decision-making through improved information viewing and analysis
- Interact with multiple charts and tables across multiple tabs – capabilities that Excel alone can't provide
- Obtain a complete view of the business by compiling multiple tables and charts into a single view, and interconnecting all comments so that filters and functions can be applied to the entire dashboard
- Runs without requiring any specialized software
- Has no individual licensing or per user/seat cost
- Gives users a complete, self-contained business intelligence environment leveraging software they already have on their computers
- Can be sent as an attachment or as an embedded link in any e-mail
- Is extremely compact (smaller than the same data represented in a Microsoft Excel PivotTable)
- Provides sorting, charting, filtering, calculations pivoting, collaboration, and much more
- An Active Technology report or dashboard is delivered as an HTML, SWF, or Adobe PDF file attachment
- Integrated security and password protection
- Creation is simple – it is just another output option for WebFOCUS – just check a box and you’re done
Active Technology dashboards can be made readily available to any number of users, both inside and outside the enterprise, without the need for special software. Mobile users can even access Active Technology dashboards without a network connection. And because they include 95 percent of the most commonly used Excel functions, users can begin working with Active Technology dashboards instantly, with little or no training.
