Thanks to the big data phenomenon, the volume of data continues to swell, exacerbating the situation.

Dashboard and self-service excellence is essential to gaining full value from investment in business intelligence tools. Dashboards can play a critical role in increasing an organization’s information awareness and improving overall transparency, strategic alignment, accountability, collaboration, and data governance. However, after initial success in deploying their first dashboards, many organizations struggle with how to get them to the next level of maturity. They also face challenges in keeping growing numbers of dashboards well-managed and in sync, especially as users employ more self-service BI tools and seek to interact with dashboards on their mobile devices.
