Executive Dashboards and Business Scorecards

Transform information into a competitive advantage

Today’s competitive landscape demands that you seek out better ways to manage and monitor your data and information assets, turning it into actionable business intelligence (BI). However, quite often the seamless flow of data is inhibited by information silos, redundancy and ineffective or suspect reporting solutions.

Without a pro-active BI strategy in place, the sheer volume of data makes it impossible to draw meaningful, actionable conclusions. NLC’s executive dashboards and business scorecards give our customers a competitive advantage, providing the tools you need to quickly respond to changing market conditions. These powerful tools draw from existing line-of-business data to help decision-makers monitor key performance indicators, in real time.

At NLC, we build BI software solutions to:

Provide rapid delivery of intelligent, relevant information to improve the speed and quality of decision-making
Better understand customer needs and build capacity for market responsiveness
Gauge the effect of pricing and promotions
Target customer segments accurately and develop effective marketing strategies
Analyze the performance of any operational process
Support financial planners with immediate access to real-time data
Assess the value of market segments and individual customers

Dashboards

Business intelligence solutions are only as good as the user interfaces that support them. They depend on functionality that provides visual access to the data. Dashboards allow managers to monitor departments and key metrics without having to request a report whenever data is required.

Key benefits:

Performance measures are represented visually
Negative trend detection enables speedy resolution
More accurate, up-to-the-minute data for informed decision-making
Managers and executives can easily spot efficiencies and inefficiencies
Early identification of new trends
Key data to be displayed from multiple reports
Easy to monitor corporate strategies and goals

Reporting

Reporting has been around for decades. It has traditionally been paper-based and used throughout the information age as a way for management to understand their business. If you combine reporting with BI technology, you get:

A consistent data-set across the entire organization
Fast access and querying, compared with more traditional delayed reporting
The ability to run pre-defined reports on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis and have them pushed to web servers, auto-emailed or published to a corporate dashboard
Complex graphical representations of data
Interactivity that allows jumping and drilling-down on particular parts of a report
An interface that allows less skilled, non-technical employees to generate custom reports

With over fifteen years experience and hundreds of customer engagements, NLC can provide you with unparalleled knowledge of the challenges and critical success factors involved in building, analyzing and managing business intelligence across a variety of industries and business applications.
