Web-based Ad Hoc Dashboards
Ad hoc reporting is all about empowering end-users to become experts in their area of business through complete access to the data that matters. One of the most powerful tools in the ad hoc reporting arsenal are web-based ad hoc dashboards. Ad hoc dashboards are single web pages on which the end user can place the information that matters to him, giving him a single view of what's critical to the efficient running of his business.
For example, the end-user can place critical metrics in the form of charts and graphs, web pages monitoring, for example, the movements of a financial index, and, in short, any other information that is relevant to him.
On the surface, this tool may sound a bit intimidating to end-users new to creating their own reporting and analysis space through ad hoc reporting. But this does not have to be the case at all.
A powerful but user-friendly ad-hoc reporting solution will enable end-users to easily create their own ad-hoc dashboards in mere hours--with more experienced users doing so in even less time. Especially with the advent of web-based reporting, creating your own ad hoc dashboard is not that much different than creating your own My Space or My Yahoo page--which are in fact web-based ad hoc dashboards.
The benefits of ad hoc dashboards are too many to list, but here are a few:
- Freeing IT from creating dozens or hundreds of different dashboards for different needs
- Letting the end-user place the information that truly matters to him on the dashboard, and change it as he pleases
- Giving the end-user the power to monitor and act upon critical metrics
- Adoption: once end-users see how easy it is to set up and use their own dashboards, BI adoption will be a sure thing and your investment will bear fruit.
