In this chapter, we learned how to transform our data into powerful scorecards and dashboards, from the business needs, functional design, and platform-driven configuration.

MicroStrategy offers a solid and easy-to-use platform. We highly recommend following the first steps prior to starting the configuration of the scorecard or dashboard: understand the business needs and follow the best practices. Dashboards and scorecards may turn out to be a very useful asset for organizations wanting to deploy a decision support system for any given business domain. Business domains such as financial and investment, insurance, healthcare, retail, and logistics may use the power of MicroStrategy Business Intelligence. Using this, executive users and business analysts can build dashboards and scorecards on their own. Business analysts can also share the reports with other business executives, or save it at the Shared reports location for use and collaboration by other users and analysts.
