Situation Center Dashboard – enterprise dashboards for crisis handling & monitoring
Lately we’ve been talking about the suitability for enterprise dashboards in life and death situations. Most of our examples so far dealt with health care enterprise dashboards. In this post, we examine a set of enterprise dashboards dedicated to helping companies handle crisis monitoring and communication. Missionmode.com offers the “situation” dashboards shown in this Dashboard Spy post. Examples of situtations include fires, natural disasters, and other types of events that require mass communication, tracking of alerts delivery and acknowledgements, situational updates and logs of response actions. A good use of enterprise dashboard technology in that the visual, at-a-glance summaries are quite helpful.
However, the same question arises: Can we trust the technology during a crisis? Are we putting lives on the line? I suppose it depends on the nature of the situation. Of course, a natural disaster affecting regional power outages would make the data acquisition impossible and render the system useless. Smaller localized situations are better suited for this type of enterprise dashboard reporting, but how real-time can it get? Take a look at these enterprise dashboard screenshots and you’ll get a good idea of the possible uses.
