These final stages bring the dashboard to life. The fully prepared data feeds are integrated into The Dashboard Companies hosted VFX Platform^tm that authenticates, calculates, renders the graphics, and supports the interactive nature of each dashboard. The system is tested at both a feed and user level. All Dashboard Company dashboards are hosted and delivered via intranet or secure internet connections using commercially standard browsers and ubiquitous Adobe plug-in’s. Technical resources and user community experts are trained. Usage and performance is monitored, and the dashboard evolves over time as needed.

Data Integration

During the data integration phase, the fully prepared “live” OLAP cube data is connected to the configured VFX dashboard software. The dashboard is now fully calculating and rendering graphics. Interactive tools are fully operational, and all hierarchical views are nested in a single implementation.

System Configuration

System Configuration Access rules are incorporated during system configuration. User accounts are set up and views are defined based on authority, scope of responsibility and level of detail required to make decisions. Access security, passwords, and specific user accounts are established.

Acceptance Testing

The fully operational dashboard is tested and validated by The Dashboard Company technical staff on a production server. Beta versions are subsequently released to a client test team. Release plans, training materials and support protocols are developed.

Hosted Service

The dashboard is live! Designated internal “Power” users and support staff are trained. Maintenance, spot testing, and validation procedures are put in place. Performance and usage are reported, and quarterly dashboard summits are scheduled to ensure that metrics and view hierarchy maintain complete relevance as the organization and business objectives evolve.
