Analytics Dashboard
Getting insight into business data can be challenging, especially understanding how the data changes over time.
An analytics dashboard can boil down complex information into simple tables and graphs, so that you can make decisions based on correct information rather than guesstimates.
There are multiple ways to create an analytics dashboard. In some cases you can use a pre-populated and pre-configured dashboard for fairly standard reports on predictable data sets, like those in common software-as-a-service applications. For example, GoodData provides such a dashboard for NetSuite ERP and CRM Analytics. Alternatively, you can analyze the information needs of the dashboard users and create a custom analytics dashboard.
GoodData provides a online platform to create analytics dashboards – for your company or for those you service. There is no software to install: you just sign up for an account and get started. First, you upload your data files, for example in CSV format. Then you describe the data model. And finally you create reports. For corporate use, a REST-based API is available so data can be uploaded continuously.
