Tactical dashboards

	White Paper Series
	Build better dashboards

Tactical dashboards help managers and analysts track and analyze departmental activities, processes and projects.

They display at-a-glance results in a business intelligence portal or professionally authored report. Users can drill down or through the data using multidimensional (OLAP) analysis and advanced reporting to pinpoint the causes of trends or issues.

Benefits of tactical dashboards

• Daily, monthly, and quarterly performance updates.
• Analysis of departmental activities and performance.
• One-click to related performance management capabilities (forecasts, budgets, etc.).
• Support for IBM Cognos 8 Go! Mobile and IBM Cognos 8 Go! Office.
• Unite data from different core areas such as sales, marketing, finance, HR, logistics, and distribution so you can see a complete, multi-department picture.
• High-impact visuals let users bring data to life in virtually any presentation type with interactivity, multiple 2D and 3D chart types, color-coded drillable maps, animated reports, and more.
