With the increasing presence of IT systems in business, we store more and more data daily in various formats and multiple sources from our activities. While not all information is relevant for your company, it is getting more difficult to search and manage the data you need.
Dashboards must be able to deal with data coming from numerous type of sources. Their purpose is to avoid the multiplicity of screens and information a user have to go through and increase the focus on the important KPI of a business.
Being able to manage multiple sources of data in the same place is an important part of the answer. It is easier and less time consuming from a user perspective.
With all the relevant information available in one place, your dashboard is therefore a valuable tool for your business to make better and faster decisions.
