A Good Solution for Automating Excel Dashboards

User-Friendly Visualization Tools

The visual straightforwardness of the dashboard makes it easier to cross analyze various data. The “drag-and-drop” method in creating the dashboard makes StyleBI more user friendly than complicated pages of Excel spreadsheets.

By displaying all the data concisely and in view, the dashboard helps users discover relationships among data that would otherwise go overlooked when using extensive Excel spreadsheets that exist on several pages.  It also allows for quicker access between data sets creating seamless transitions. Users can discover relationships within minutes and receive instantaneous results that track quarterly performance, geographic sales, and other key components.

Maximizing Potential

Visual data is more easily noted than tabular data. By transforming the tabular data into a more user friendly option, the information becomes more readily absorbed than raw data presented in Excel spreadsheets. StyleBI simplifies the process of creating such visual data. The dashboard tools eliminate human error that would occur from computing large amounts of data to get a fairly small result. By allowing the dashboard to process this data instead of having the user do it directly, businesses save time and human resources in achieving their goals.

The dashboard maximizes each user’s potential by allowing interactive capabilities that are easy to navigate. This way, the user can use tools that personalize the visual display of the data that is mostcomfortable for the user – whether it be color coding, graphs, shaping, trend lines, or mash-ups. Unlike Excel, the user’s capabilities are limitless.

Our Differentiator

In contrast to other business intelligence applications that provide only reporting, or only dashboards, or require an intermediate data access layer, StyleBI is complete. It includes analytics software and sophisticated reporting capabilities plus direct access to almost any data source

Not only does StyleBI reduce costs and increase capabilities by cutting back on human resources required to input and manage large Excel spread sheets; the dashboard also allows access through desktop, laptop, mobile, tablets, or through the Web making its usage the more practical option. StyleBI combines more traditional models with state-of-the-art technology providing instantaneous results. By speeding up the time it takes to receive data and make decisions faster, the dashboard allows for users to meet their long term business goals. Its visual accessibility is the key to your success.

Lightweight Reporting Emergence - Just as reporting as a stand-alone product was being integrated into enterprise business intelligence suites, a new type of reporting product surfaced. These products are Java- or .NET-based and support application developers who need to embed reporting into their Java or .NET applications. Although some legacy reporting products also support .NET, some customers want lower-cost and smaller footprint (application size) products. Third-party developers that need to embed reporting capabilities into their software products feel this need most keenly. Application size can be a big issue for such users, causing them to reject products from the "big" enterprise business intelligence suite vendors and to seek lightweight BI and reporting vendors. Customers of at least one lightweight reporting vendor include application service providers who integrate reporting as a service, in addition to IT departments and third-party developers...
