"Digital dashboards allow managers to monitor the contribution of the various departments in their organization. To gauge exactly how well an organization is performing overall, digital dashboards allow you to capture and report specific data points from each department within the organization, thus providing a "snapshot" of performance.
Benefits of using digital dashboards include:
Visual presentation of performance measures.
Ability to identify and correct negative trends.
Measure efficiencies/inefficiencies.
Ability to generate detailed reports showing new trends.
Ability to make more informed decisions based on collected business intelligence.
Align strategies and organizational goals.
Saves time compared to running multiple reports.
Gain total visibility of all systems instantly.
Quick identification of data outliers and correlations." [Dashboard (management information systems). Wikipedia]
