Hello folks!

Every day at ClicData, we get into a lot of very interesting discussions about dashboards, reports, the use of cloud technology etc.

While a lot of our users know their way around those topics, some of them have a beginner approach to them. They usually see our example page on our website and have a lot questions about dashboards; how to create them, why is it interesting to use them for their business etc.

For a lot of small companies, their use is not as obvious as for some medium and large businesses. Using dashboards usually comes when your company reaches a certain size and you have to start managing more and more factors.

So, based on those conversations, we have decided to create a website, https://www.whatisadashboard.net which will answer a lot of those questions such as:

  • What is a dashboard?
  • Why does your business need one?
  • What is Data visualization?
  • Some Business dashboards Tips

We also provide live, interactive examples of business dashboards to illustrate our explanations! (All made with ClicData of course ;) )

And we encourage you share it with your friends and colleague if you think dashboards can be useful for them, everybody can still sign up for a free ClicData Account right there!

 

Happy Dashboarding!
