We’ll explore:
1. A jQuery plugin that adds visual highlights to image maps

2. A configurable KPI element that lets you modify the look, feel, and functionality

3. A CSS3-only replacement for pop-up panels that lets you modify the slide direction, panel width, and provides pre-displayed content refreshes

Business Intelligence vs. Analytics

Operational reports help organisations present and distribute information to the right people, in the right format, and in a timeframe that supports their business needs. However, if operational reports are cumbersome or difficult to read, the benefits can vanish quickly.

Join our webinar to discover why and how organisations are modernizing their operational reports.

We’ll explore:
1. Complex needs of common reporting scenarios

2. Five modern operational reporting features

3. An example of an organisation that transformed their operational reporting

Modernizing Your Legacy Operational Reports

According to Gartner, 80 percent of application teams compete on the sophistication of the dashboards, reports, and analytics in their products. Why? Because end users expect more than basic reporting.

Embedded analytics should not only deliver data visualizations, but go deeper and integrate the data and analytics into the fabric of the application. Join the webinar to learn about five embedded analytics capabilities that will make your application shine.

5 Embedded Analytics Capabilities to Make Your Application Shine

The first instinct for many software companies is to build exactly what they want with the help of chart components and open source code libraries. This works for some organisations that think their users don’t have complex requirements. But with dashboards and reports, the trigger point often hinges around understanding and mapping user flows. A one-size-fits-all experience just doesn’t cut it when you have a growing customer base and serve multiple user personas who are trying to achieve different outcomes.
