DataPlayer Reporting Business Case

Omniscope DataPlayers for Reports & Dashboards

Business case: interactive visual Flash reports with granular record-level drill down

 

Adding DataPlayers to your documents, web pages and blogs can be the quickest, least-expensive route to improving the effectiveness of your reports and dashboards. DataPlayers permit simple, cost-effective sharing of current information with staff, partners and customers, adding value in any organisation in many ways:

 


More credible charts, more powerful messages: 

Providing DataPlayers instead of static image charts in documents and web pages permits users to interact with the data, filter and view selected records, and see chart totals built up from detail...

  • DataPlayer 'dashboards' charts permit users to drill down...ultimately to individual records.
  • Many view types can be combined on same page to portray the data in different ways.
  • Real-time feedback on filtering allows users to understand the data in detail
  • More visibility of detail means more credibility in charts...and more power to the message.

Briefer, clearer, more detail-rich documents: 

DataPlayers in documents improve reports and provide off-line 'dashboards'- more data in fewer pages, with more interactivity means less explanation...

  • Paste DataPlayers directly into reports, presentations, catalogues, directories, etc.
  • Make documents shorter, yet more interesting, flexible and comprehensive.
  • Create off-line, interactive 'dashboards'/reports, that anyone can query with a mouse.
  • Add dynamic, searchable tables of contents/indices (with links) to lengthy documents.
  • Simple, inexpensive way to share filterable data/images/maps with staff and customers…no website required.
