The Socius View of Analytics • BI is much more than reporting • BI is not about the best or latest technology. Its

about Ease of Use and Adoption • Changing the mindset in organization to become a

“Learning Organization” • Analysis, Alerts, Visual Presentation • Don’t just show data, create Actionable Data • Right time / Right place

What is a Dashboard? • A business intelligence dashboard is a data visualization tool

that displays the current status of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for an Organization. Dashboards consolidate and arrange numbers, metrics and scorecards on a single screen.
