These applications let users monitor the status of KPIs at a glance and alert users via pager, e-mail, or wireless devices when performance deviates from predefined targets.
Dashboards and scorecards are the most visual elements of a performance management system that merges the functionality of BI technology and performance management. Besides displaying metrics visually, these full-fledged information systems let users drill into detailed data to identify the root causes of problems and intervene while there’s still time. download complete whitepaper
