Business Dashboard

Merits of a dashboard

Graphical display allows you to spot trends at a glance

Key information from disparate reports compiled in one place provides “big picture” view and easier analysis

Drill-down to specific numbers of any graph with one mouse-click

Business Dashboard

For example…

Click here for enlarged view of

single chart

Business Dashboard

Double-click

on chart…

Enlarged view appears of individual graph...

Business Dashboard

…to see the numbers

“ I already get this information from

another report!

Why a dashboard? ”

Business Dashboard

Existing reports…

May only be text-based – a dashboard gives you visual displays

Often gives you a snapshot of current period only – a dashboard shows you trends

Are “silos” of information – a dashboard allows all key performance indicators (KPI’s) to be placed in one view to help understand inter-relationships among KPI’s and better hone in on problem areas

Business Dashboard

Oak’s Simple 5-Step Approach

1) Your company’s unique key performance metrics are identified

• We have ideas and checklists for you

2) We find out where this information resides in your company

• Various databases, manual information

3) We set up a “test” dashboard, inputting your historical data

• The past 12 months, for example,for trends analysis

Business Dashboard

Oak’s Unique Approach

4) You use the dashboard for a few months, relying on manual-input of information

• You let us know if it indeed captures what you want and is displayed like you want it

• Let’s not integrate until you’re happy with everything

5) Final dashboard with automated data capturing is implemented

Business Dashboard

Data for all KPI’s are manually

entered on one simple

form

Manual Data Input During Trial Phase

Business Dashboard

Oak’s Unique Approach

User-friendly reporting tool: Learning - - very easy to use.

Ramp-up time - - begin using it immediately.

Cost - - extremely affordable solution.

Initial manual input of data ensures: Data is indeed that which is most meaningful.

Data is displayed as CEO or users want to see it.

Strategic merits of the dashboard are immediately realized.
