BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS — HOW TO GAUGE SUCCESS

The Prism dashboard is made up of a number of actionable buttons that can be linked to key indicator reports and data, along with providing shortcuts for launching modules, according to Goldman.

Cyrious Control software similarly uses function keys to trigger the gathering of information that is then displayed through a graphical reporting interface. In its initial development work for users in the sign and large-format printing sector, St. Cyr says the company found that access to information at a higher level was a key to growth for franchises using the system. Aggregation of data in real-time has continued to be a central feature of Cyrious' integrated management solution as it has expanded into other business sectors, including commercial printing, he reports.
