Dashboards help automate and unify source data visualizations across multiple departments or business lines. They help managers monitor data in order to quickly shift marketing, sales or distribution tactics.
But what if the data needs pre-transformation to be useful -- or even correct? What if the dashboard can't handle large data sets? In that case, source data must be integrated, reduced, cleansed, and exported. A back-end staging and scrubbing processes is needed to filter, sort, aggregate and reformat accurate subsets required for the dashboard import. Simultaneous protections may be needed to safeguard privacy.
Solutions:
While transforming massive files, the CoSort product's SortCL tool can also produce a wide variety of filtered, protected, and custom report targets, including enterprise dashboard imports.
SortCL users who do not currently have dashboarding capabilities can now license
the best-of-breed iDashboards application with CoSort!
iDashboards' proven
technology conveniently turns pre-processed data into dynamic, graphical
business intelligence that you can see, use and present. The dashboard can
further filter SortCL's output data and integrate it with other sources
(such as ODBC) for additional insight.
If you already have a dashboard, you may need SortCL to pre-process its data sources.
As a high-performance data transformation engine for the integration and staging of flat files, SortCL can prepare large data sources for import into your dashboard tool.
Against one or more large input files, SortCL can filter, sort, join, aggregate, scrub, protect, and reformat your data into the CSV or XML export file your dashboard or spreadsheet needs. This frees your BI applications to do what they do best: present.
