Pre-Built Dashboard Solutions

Delivering Value Fast

This report compares the performance of organizations using pre-built solutions to the organizations that chose to build their own custom dashboards – either using a dashboard development kit or tool, or built from the ground up using general-purpose development tools. One key research finding is that pre-built dashboards can be implemented in 60% of the time required for a custom-approach. Such dashboards can also be modified in half the time of custom dashboards.

Featured Insight of the Day

A pre-built solution may not meet the needs of the business exactly as it is delivered. Consequently, it’s important that this class of solution is easy to modify and extend. As Figure 2 shows, both creation of new dashboards and the time required to modify existing dashboards is significantly shorter for pre-built solutions compared to custom development. On average, changes are completed in about half the time.
