Accessing and keeping constant track of business KPIs and reports is hard. CxOs, VPs, managers and other senior management leaders need to continuously monitor different types of KPIs relevant to their role. But in order to access them, they have to undergo the tedious process of opening their Power BI app (or any Business Intelligence application for that matter), navigating through dashboards, and filtering based on the parameters.
This is a difficult workflow which doesn’t fit in the busy schedules of these leaders. Remember, the average employee switches between 35 job-critical applications more than 1,100 times every day.
Companies have developed loose workarounds to overcome this. In fact, during our conversations with large enterprise customers, we’ve found that many of them have deployed a dedicated person whose sole job is to take screenshots of the analytics reports in the Business Intelligence (BI) app and send them to senior managers via emails or publish them on intranets.
But, as you can probably guess, these static images won’t be either timely or interactive. By the time the report reaches a CxO, the data in it may not be up-to-date. And if a user needs deeper insights about a report, they again need to request and wait for a different screenshot.
This lack of timely access to relevant data results in poor business decisions and lost opportunities.
To overcome the above-mentioned challenges, we’d like to present the possibility of surfacing BI and analytics dashboards within the home page of an intranet.
