Dashboard

From a simple excel dashboard to a fully integrated enterprise reporting suite, the Business Dashboard is being quickly adopted as the new face of Business Intelligence. It has a rapidly growing role in BI reporting and analysis.

An enterprise dashboard allows at-a-glance visualization of company health and monitoring of key performance indicators. Simple to understand and high in ROI, these executive dashboards are becoming "must-haves" for all enterprises. Easy-to-use by business users and fun-to-implement by the IT department, BI dashboard projects are quickly funded and politically popular.

Building Award Winning Enterprise Dashboards - Nice documentation of building an SAP Analytics dashboard

What is valuable for us Dashboard Spies when we look at today’s award-winning enterprise dashboard example is not what airline industry KPIs are shown, the integration of a document viewer, or even the fact that an award was won, but that the implementation team created a nice document explaining their process. Although the project pdf is really a sales support document, it has great design and implementation value and we should all flip through the 28 pages. Several dashboards are shown as well as closeups of various tables.

A quick intro from their documentation:

The model has been created by CubeServ AG during a workshop at September 2005 as an example.
The dashboard is based on an generic data model, shows variable KPIs and may be used cross
industry.
The CubeServ Overview Dashboard shows in three views the major information for financial an nonfinancial
key performance indicators.
There are three dashboards available for the
• Overall view
• Customer view
• Product view
From the technology point of view the usage of layer technology and formula based selections is
shown.
For each view there are selections for
• the period
• the year
• the consolidation unit
via dropdown boxes available.
After the selection of period, year and/or consolidation unit a new selection will be shown after
pressing the Submit button
Via the dropdown box Select Dashboard you can navigate from one view to the other.
By pressing the Help button this user documentation will be shown.

The dashboard is an SAP Analytics dashboard created by CubeServ AG at a show in 2005. Here I show a dashboard screenshot:
