Scorecards and dashboards are tools that are used to measure corporate performance from an operational as well as from a strategic point of view. These tools provide up-to-the minute information on key financial and operational ratios that are critical for running the business successfully. To provide the greatest benefit, these tools must be dynamic and allow users to drill down into information to better understand the source. Most dashboards are simple "eye candy." Managers might use them to spot something to investigate, but cannot use them to drill down and solve real issues. With arcplan, they can.

Dashboards provide easy-to-understand performance metrics, important ratios, and reports. Scorecards go a step further to help decision makers analyze dependencies between different business responsibilities by connecting related key performance indicators (KPIs) and hence show the impact of a company’s business activity on operational results as well as strategic business objectives. 

arcplan is unique in allowing the integration of dashboard and scorecard functionality within one application, where users can drill directly from the KPIs of a scorecard to detailed dashboard information in order to make an informed decision on a business issue. In addition, arcplan scorecards and dashboards enable collaborative decision making and proactive performance management consequently aligning actions and business decisions with operational and strategic objectives. As a result, better business decisions are made more easily and quickly.
