Scorecards and Dashboards

Scorecards and dashboards provide "at-a-glance" information
about business performance across the enterprise. 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. We offer a unique enterprise
reporting solution that combines powerful, graphical zone-based layout
techniques used to produce scorecards and dashboards with traditional
banded report formatting to produce data-rich yet visually compelling
reports. Organizations can comprehensively manage performance on the MicroStrategy
platform, leveraging all enterprise data and reaching all individuals
across the enterprise with visually compelling displays.
Key areas in the Scorecards and Dashboards BI Style:

| 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 BI Developer Kit or 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 using the MicroStrategy platform. |

| 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. |
