Heat Map Shows Contributions of KPIs

This is the continuation of the transcript of a Webcast hosted by InetSoft on the topic of "Faster Business Intelligence: Visual Reporting" The speaker is Mark Flaherty, CMO at InetSoft.

The heat map at the bottom of the page is a new feature on this page. It shows the performance of various table games grouped by pit location on the casino floor. The size and color of the shapes are determined by two key measures and quickly show the relative contributions of these KPIs. The settings for the heat map can be changed interactively. Different key metrics can be used to determine the size or color of the heat map. The color bandings and ranges can also be changed along with specifying filtering criteria and other facets of the heat map.

The marketing dashboard page shows details of marketing promotions targeted to certain customers. Changing selections again changes the area chart and the grid. It is quick and easy to segment the data by different customer data attributes. So in this short demonstration you can see how useful this dashboard application is to the casino manager.

This performance monitoring dashboard contains approximately 8 megabytes of data representing over 22,000 rows and with over 40 business measures analyzed from different perspectives. Not only does InetSoft offer dashboard technology, but InetSoft has a high volume, high efficiency dashboard platform that manages all tasks in extracting and formatting data including multi database access, high scale data compression, automatic personalization, dynamic assembly of dashboards into self running packages, and high volume distribution to thousands of recipients.

Powerful Dashboard Design

Style Intelligence is also notable for its powerful dashboard design and operations console that reduces development and administrative efforts because all dashboard designs are firstly made with a data driven query worksheet, or data block. This means that any other data worksheet can be assembled from other business data blocks.

That way they are reusable, easy to maintain, and easy to update as business changes. Number two, dashboard applications are graphically designed using drag and drop technology, so they can be built very quickly and do not require any programming to get the great interactivity. Thirdly, the platform offers operations control so that the entire implementation can be monitored and managed from one central console.

What is truly significant about dashboard applications is that it’s a breed of business intelligence that every organization has been looking for but has been unable to find because the technology did not exist to support it. Many companies have now implemented dashboards and improved information dissemination and as a result have been rewarded with productivity gains within the organizations.

Next I wanted to take a minute today to talk about InetSoft mobile BI solution within the scope of delivering more information to more people within your organization. InetSoft’s goal is making our customers the most competitive players within your industries through pervasive BI. I don’t think there has been a better example of that in terms of making information available to more people and a much more immersive experience than with InetSoft mobile BI over the last few months. You can see that we strongly believe that the mobile computing is revolutionizing how, when, and where information is consumed and decisions are made.

Read what InetSoft customers and partners have said about their selection of Style Scope for their solution for dashboard reporting.

And there’s a new breed of information driven applications, information driven apps that combine analytical capabilities, information, and transactional capabilities. Organizations are going to need to build tens or hundreds of these enterprise apps and consumer apps in the next three years to take advantage of this new wave of information technology that is making business no longer tethered to the desk.
