Category Management
Interactive Maps

Visualizations can be imported or created using Adobe Flex Builder. This dashboard was created using an imported map visualization to analyze regional profitability. A more detailed perspective of information is provided in the grid. This dashboard enables an intuitive navigational experience where users can logically analyze the data and perform OLAP manipulations directly on the dashboard.

Category Sales & Profitability
Scorecards, Interactive Grids

This dashboard provides a quick summary of category performance. Using basic graphs such as a bar graph and column graph, users can quickly perform an item comparison broken down by region and a trend analysis broken down by month. For a more detailed analysis, a breakdown of data by Quarter and Subcategory is provided in grid format at the bottom of the dashboard.

Customer Support
Spark Lines, Bullet Graphs

MicroStrategy dashboards enable users to interact with data quickly to make more informed decisions much faster. Using visualizations such as sparklines, bullet graphs, and standard bar charts, large amounts of data can be easily turned into comprehensible and actionable insight. Key statistics such as number of open cases, new cases, closed cases, and average resolution time can be analyzed. A summary of the top five engineers and top five customers with the most open cases is visible for a quick analysis of operations. Trends for monthly open cases in each support center can be analyzed using a sparkline. Important KPIs can easily be compared to targets using a bullet graph for benchmark analysis.

Department of Transportation
Fisheye Selector, Video

From this dashboard, it can be determined that population, wealth, education level, and work locations influence the likelihood of using public transportation. Wealthier, higher educated counties in heavily populated high traffic areas are more likely to take public transportation. Using this dashboard, the California high-speed rail system can leverage visualizations such as the media player to display videos outlining the goals and forecasting information critical to the future rail system. Through a series of graphs and visualizations, you can start to evaluate key demographic indicators to evaluate ideal stations for high-speed rail development in California.

Fertility Rate & Life Expectancy
Interactive Bubble Graphs

Bubble charts are similar to dot charts since they enable users to perform a correlation analysis on the data, but the size of bubbles within the bubble chart add an additional dimension to the data analysis. The large bubbles represent different continents. The size of the bubble represents a third dimension -- population size. Data can be viewed at a more detailed level -- the country level -- when you double-click on a bubble. Fertility rates and life expectancy have a negative correlation. As life expectancy continues to improve across the world, the fertility rate is decreasing.

Income Statement Analysis
Waterfall What-If Analysis

This dashboard uses a customized widget provided through MicroStrategy's SDK to analyze the impact of income statement items on net income. Performing a what-if analysis, the net income will fluctuate based on interactive user selections.

Operations Dashboard
Gauges, Bubble Grids

Dashboards can be used to combine visualizations and a large amount of data into nearly self-contained applications called DashboardApps. Each panel provides information critical to a Support Center Manager in order to help them understand and manage operations. Key statistics such as number of open cases, new cases, closed cases, and average resolution time can be analyzed over the past month or past year, depending on the view selected. Performing a benchmark analysis, important KPIs can easily be compared to targets using gauges. Evaluating other areas such as product adoption or other levels such as regional performance, provide a better analysis of all support operations so analysts or managers can more easily cater to high-priority customers and meet operational targets. Visualizations such as sparklines, bullet graphs, animated bubble charts, and heat maps can convert tremendous amounts of data into comprehensible, actionable insight.

Recovery.gov
Top/Bottom 10 Ranking

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act addresses a number of infrastructural problems across the country that have been neglected for years while at the same time providing a stimulus to our economy, creating and saving millions of jobs for the American people. A key tenet of the Recovery Act was the unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency that President Obama asked of all of the 31 participating federal agencies. This dynamic dashboard is based on the data provided by the US Federal Government Agencies on the status of their activities as part of the Recovery Act. This dashboard enables citizens across the country to perform more analysis on the data provided by the federal agencies by providing aggregate, visual, and interactive views of all of the reported data.

Region & Category Analysis
Heat Mapping

Visualizations condense large amounts of data into an easy-to-understand sizeable graph. Heat maps are used to identify problematic levels of information. Heat maps quickly illustrate the state and impact of a large number of variables at once. The fundamental benefit of the heat map is that it allows you to quickly recognize complicated data relationships that may not be so obvious. Although the analysis is similar to a pie chart or group of pie charts, heat maps provide additional dimensionality that enables you to evaluate multiple variables simultaneously based on the size and color of each square. The format of each square is set by individual metrics that can be changed on-the-fly through interactive dashboard controls. A set of interactive controls provide end users with the flexibility to analyze data with their own unique requirements. As users need to focus in on particular areas of the heat map, they can remove individual or groups of squares.

Regional Performance
Time Selector, Dials

Using a series of threshold values on gauges, this dashboard quickly identifies the growth of three key performance indicators: revenue, profit, and profit margin. Using a standard column chart, users can perform a quick time-series analysis on the data to better understand which regions are performing well and which regions are under-performing for each month.

Revenue Performance
Predictive Analysis, Graph Matrix

MicroStrategy advanced visualizations enable dashboards to condense a significant amount of information in a small space while reducing the impact on dashboard performance and size. Taking a grid of data that contains too many rows and columns, MicroStrategy is able to display this same data in a single, easy to view graph matrix. Zooming in on a particular graph provides more detail.

Sales Overview
Dynamic Filters, Multiple Graphs

This dashboard provides a summary of business performance, by organizing multiple reports into a single layout. The dashboard workflow has been streamlined for quicker and more effective resolutions by providing an analysis of business performance at the corporate, regional, or store level. In-dashboard controls provide intuitive dashboard navigation. Dashboards are easy to use, increasing user productivity and self-service. Using visualizations or visual indicators such as thresholds, data trends or activity are easy to monitor for key performance indicators (KPI's).

Top 10 World Airports
Media Widgets

Analyzing passenger volume trends overtime can be used both by customers to help understand ideal dates for travel and by airlines to understand which months and locations to run promotions in an effort to increase air travel. This dashboard uses a microchart to evaluate KPIs such as monthly passenger volume, growth rates, and percentage of international travelers. The media image and details below dynamically change based on an airport selection. A bubble grid or line chart display historical trends, enabling airlines to quickly identify which airports are growing the fastest to determine if there is an opportunity to establish a new hub for a given location.
