Scorecards and Dashboards

They are typically generated for managers and executives who need an overall view of business performance and find tremendous value in viewing timely, visually intuitive snapshots of strategic financial and operational data.

The MicroStrategy platform provides the full range of scorecard and dashboard capability.

Scorecards provide a visual representation of standard key performance indicators (KPIs) - carefully selected metrics that help enterprises measure and manage performance.

Enterprises can choose from the hundreds of pre-defined KPIs included in the pre-built analytic modules of the MicroStrategy platform or use MicroStrategy to build an unlimited number of KPIs based on a specific methodology, such as the Balanced Scorecard™, Six Sigma, Activity Based Management or individual enterprise design.

Managed Metrics Reports are the cornerstone of Corporate Performance Management (CPM), allowing managers to continually track business performance status.

MicroStrategy successfully achieves these kinds of reports using thresholds and indicator graphics to quickly show attainment of performance goals, trends over time and status checks. By incorporating predictive analysis native to the MicroStrategy platform, our managed metrics reports can also show correlations and projections to help anticipate future business performance.
