CenterView Executive Dashboard Answers

1. What are the benefits of Corda’s CenterView enterprise, executive dashboard product?

   CenterView executive dashboard increases visibility into your organization's performance, and gives real-time insight to your most important business objectives.

   • Deep Insight –CenterView provides real-time insight via easy to understand data visualizations and deep drilldown capabilities in to areas of specific interest or concern, allowing executives, managers and knowledge workers to compare results with expectations and business objectives. Broad Web-based user access and one-click export to PDF, PNG, Excel and other applications and formats allows you to deploy and share information across the entire enterprise. Mobile and hand-held support allows anywhere at anytime on-the-go visibility.
   • Broad Accessibility – CenterView Executive Dashboard utilizes your existing infrastructure and provides role based administration for single sign-on authorization; LDAP, eDirectory, and Active Directory are supported, to allow enterprise dashboard and user management capabilities for permissions, views, and license key administration. CenterView connects to virtually any data source for integration into in-house applications, data sources, and information silos.
   • Enterprise Scalability – Multi-threaded performance and high availability were paramount development goals for Corda CenterView. CenterView servers can be clustered to support fail-over and load balancing for high availability for critical applications for thousands of users. CenterView is 100% Java, making it platform independent. Auto adjust of image sizes and best image fallback are just a few features that improve executive dashboard performance.
   • Rapid Development and Deployment -- Rapid prototyping, cloning and deployment is enabled through a wide variety of standard maps, charts and graphs that are easily modified via a developer GUI and wizards which utilize adaptable themes, styles and templates. Centralized administration, security and management enable rapid scaling to new groups and geographies. Corda’s WYSYWIG builder with real-time preview takes the "ease of use" in creating dashboards to an unprecedented level. Time to deployment is further reduced through straight-forward reuse of KPI’s, templates, graphs, etc., that increase ROI and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) when distributing and managing multiple dashboards across an enterprise or organization.
   
   
   
   

2. How does Corda CenterView compare against traditional Business Intelligence executive dashboards?

   Corda’s CenterView digital executive dashboard aggregates and presents data from any and all databases, business intelligence (BI), enterprise resource planning (ERP), spreadsheet and operational applications into executive dashboards, scorecards and company-specific visualizations that enable the broadest possible insight and access to enterprise information. CenterView differs from traditional BI dashboards in several important ways:

   • Data is easily presented from multiple data sources
   • Visualizations are highly interactive (e.g. data on roll-over, clickable images, etc.), intuitive and attractive
   • Creation and layout of executive dashboards is simple and incredibly flexible such that analysts and other users can develop and maintain their own customized presentations

   Corda recognizes the importance of utilizing customers’ existing infrastructure, providing protection of investments and saving time and money.
