CRM Custom Dashboards are types of dashboards built for teams across your entire company. It is imperative everyone should have access to data and understand how to use it. Alternative Solutions can give your teams an analytical platform that makes it easy to dive deep into data, find insights, and drive your sales forward.

But there is a plethora of business intelligence software options and implementation methodologies to choose from, each offering some benefit … and some cost:

Data Processing:

One of the main challenges faced is handling of disparate data sources. Companies get data from third party companies, from Sales reps in the field, excel files and so on. This data needs to be assimilated at a central location to get the combined picture of the data.

Data Transformation:

CRM forecasting, business intelligence software and other solutions must also provide data transformation functionality. The ability to perform Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) within the dashboarding application makes the development of BI applications faster and provide single versions of the truth.

Data Analytics:

Modern data analytics often use information dashboards supported by real-time data streams. Data analytics generally involve dynamic analysis and reporting, based on data entered into a system in a somewhat recent manner.
