Corporate performance management is the art of linking strategy to core processes and activities through actionable metrics found in dashboards and scorecards. Analyzer™ makes corporate performance management easy by bringing together key performance indicators to provide focus on important areas that are critical to success.
Scorecards are generally used to help communicate and refine the corporate strategy by delivering a consistent view of the metrics that matter most. By understanding how key performance indicators compare to their targets, companies can measure their progress towards achieving strategic objectives. Dashboards are often more tactical and monitor business processes for quick decisions and immediate action.
In the past, scorecards and dashboards have been time-consuming to build and were often displayed in flat reports. Analyzer quickly brings scorecards and dashboards to life with its interactive, visual format. Every metric and chart can be easily changed to suit the business need, with no need for IT intervention. Using Microsoft SQL Server's® powerful OLAP technology and KPI features, Analyzer delivers powerful scorecard functionality with dynamic data that is the key to successful corporate performance management.

Managing Corporate Performance Using Scorecards and Dashboards
Analyzer makes it easy for any business user to create custom scorecards and dashboards by mixing and matching a variety of reporting components. Components include pivot tables, charts and graphs, analytic boards, KPI viewers, process diagrams, web pages, and Reporting Services® reports. Each of these components leverages SQL Server's standard and custom measures as well as SQL Server's KPI feature. In addition, custom measures can be created in Analyzer, with or without writing MDX expressions, to provide trending and forecasting information.
Analyzer's easy-to-build pivot tables and charts can help users quickly build dashboards that provide multiple views and metrics. When KPIs are added to pivot tables, they not only present the metric, but also present icons that represent the status and trend. Immediately, users can understand the health and direction of the information they care about most. Plus, the data is always as current as the most recent cube refresh.
Analyzer's KPI Viewer brings even more visibility into KPIs. As users add KPIs to the viewer, the actual, current status, trend, and variance are automatically displayed. Users can then add even more visibility to KPIs by assigning an importance rating which can be used to select, organize, and sort your KPIs.
The analytic board component uses a variety of graphical icons, including different styles of arrows and gauges, to visually represent data and KPIs. These icons can be easily positioned and sized as users create their dashboards, and the color and text can also be formatted. For added context, images such as maps can be uploaded into the graphics library and used as background images in the dashboard component. Users can use map images as backgrounds in the dashboard component and overlay gauges and icons on them to offer a geographic perspective.
Analyzer's powerful, flexible user interface brings depth to corporate performance management by enabling users to transition seamlessly from scorecards and dashboards into analysis and detailed reports. As users spot interesting trends, Analyzer's interactive format allows users to easily drill down to more detailed data.
Multiple scorecard and dashboard components can be tracked together using the group function. This allows changes in one component to be replicated across the group. Individual KPIs can also be carefully monitored using Analyzer's watch list. The watch list brings important KPIs to the user's Analyzer home page for quick review.

Business Process Monitoring
Managing corporate performance would not be complete without visibility into supporting business processes. Analyzer's KPI Process
Diagrams make it easy to monitor the business from a process flow perspective looking at high-level processes from an enterprise view
or more detailed processes at the department view. Process owners can drag and drop their KPIs onto the page and choose from directional
arrows and process blocks to build each business process. Each process step can have multiple KPIs that display the actual metric,
the metric status and the metric trend.
