Tis the season to make your lists and check them twice, isn’t it? Business intelligence practitioners among the Dashboard Spy readership know that the right business analytics and dashboards make all the difference between a smooth holiday season and one full of fulfillment mishaps. It turns out that Santa implemented several new business intelligence systems up at the North Pole. Seems that the elves were pitching a dashboard project to help monitor key metrics and KPIs. In this post, we’ll examine several BI systems that good old Kris Kringle launched just in time for the holiday season.

First, thanks goes to veteran dashboarder Robert Allison for providing Santa Claus with this Santa Dashboard. It’s an interactive dashboard, so be sure to try out the various drill-downs at that link. Here is the screenshot of the dashboard.

I made a santa dashboard video and set it to some holiday music:

Next, we examine another Santa Dashboard, this time courtesy of the dashboarders at DSPanel. Their Santa Sharepoint Dashboard has a nice merry tune also, so be sure to check it out at that link.

Finally, via TK’s BI and the Chicken Pot Pie, comes the revelation that Santa is a SAS Business Analytics customer. Check out this Santa Business Analytics video.

Here’s a screenshot of a happy elven business intelligence analyst. His name is Alabaster Snowball and he’s the VP of Analytics up at the North Pole:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from The Dashboard Spy!
