There are six common reasons why technology officers are recommending SharePoint dashboards and business intelligence tools to upper management. They extend powerful capabilities to business processes, all of which provide benefits to businesses.

1. 1. Achieve business goals quickly

   
   

   You’ve probably heard the saying “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth measuring.” And the management guru Tom Peters says, "What gets measured gets done!"

   So it makes sense not only to measure activities and results, but also to have those metrics at your finger tips and in graphical formats that give a snapshot of your company’s health.




2. 2. Make better decisions

   
   

   Real-time data that tells you what’s trending, what’s working, and what’s not helps you hone your decisions based on key-performance metrics. It’s like having a GPS to guide your business.




3. 3. Gain business insights previously not possible

   
   

   Because SharePoint enables you to blend data from multiple systems, you can piece together puzzle pieces in entirely new ways, and see new pictures emerge that lead to ‘ah ha’ moments.




4. 4. Manage by exception

   
   

   You don’t have time to look at everything, so make sure you’re looking at what counts most. SharePoint makes this easy with automated tracking of results against pre-defined red, yellow, and green success thresholds. Focus on what’s red to clean up growth obstacles quickly. Check what’s green to discover the wins your business should duplicate.




5. 5. Avoid being blindsided

   
   

   With SharePoint in place you’ll have advanced warnings of business downturns and upswings. Avoid the fire fights by taking action early.




6. 6. Save time

   
   

   Automation can help you avoid spreadsheet hell--painful, manual, multi-step report formatting processes that are invitations for errors and employee burn out. Let SharePoint do the heavy lifting.
