Scorecards and dashboards are tools that are used to measure corporate performance from an operational and strategic point of view. These tools provide real-time information on key financial and operational metrics that are critical for running your business successfully.

To provide the greatest benefit, scorecards and dashboards must be dynamic and allow users to drill down into information to better understand the causes of underperformance. 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 and 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 deliver workflow, collaboration, and planning functionality for collaborative decision making and proactive performance management. arcplan dashboard and scorecard solutions consequently help to align actions and business decisions with operational as well as strategic objectives. As a result, you can make better business decisions faster, based on the right information.
