14 Dashboards

15 Dashboarding Definition (by Stephen Few): A dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives; consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be monitored at a glance. 16

16 Visualization and presentation of quanitative information Hey, this is simple, everybody knows how to do this. Underestimated in terms of required time. Nobody pays extra attention, because: consultants/vendors are saying it s just drag and drop, we run out of resources (for example, after a lengthy( ) data warehouse implementation project), we run out of time. 17

17 What is the most visible object in this dashboard? 18

18 What can you read from the visualization bellow? QTD SALES Americas Asia Europe Sales 19

19 Implementation of reporting/visualization standards Few* is more Decoration/design (graphs, tables, shapes, colors, fonts) Used objects (graphs and tables): design, types, which object to use in which scenario (ACT vs. PLN, time series, ranking, etc.), marking/ highlighting the meaning of red, yellow and green color Used terminology: abbreviations, time (also relative like YTD, PYTD), scenarios, alerting, units. *Reffering to the visualization guru Stephen Few 20

20 We have to be carefull, what we put in front of users A Christmas Tree Design Lean and Usefull Design 21

21 Dashboarding Definition (by Stephen Few): A dashboard is a visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives; consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be monitored at a glance. One page report Visual display of quantitative information/kpis Data visualization Dashboard forces user to TAKE ACTION Dashboard offers CLEAR OVERVIEW of our business Dashboard is CONNECTED to other analytical content 22

22 A game of numbers Time consumption while working with infos Dashboard Christmas tree VS. Dashboard Few is More Assumptions: Average gross salary of SLO managers in 2012 was cca yearly (source: Dnevnik). Number of working days/year: 350. Working day duration = 10h. Three board members. Time consumption working with Christmas tree = 15min daily. Time consumption working with Few is More =3min daily. Calculation ( ): Christmas tree =1,267 *15min*350*3= Few is More =1,267 *3min*350*3= DIFF=

25 Reporting

26 Reporting What do we do? Quickly build formatted reports on any data source Securely distribute reports both internally and externally Minimize IT support costs by empowering end users to easily create and modify their own reports Enhance custom applications with embedded reports 27

27 Data Discovery

What if you could create new groups and hierarchies in your analysis? What if you could easily build visualizations and put it together in one view? What if you could create compelling Infographics to tell a story? What if you could analyze your data online and offline and on any device? Prepare data Visualize information Infographics Online, Offline & Any Device 2015 SAP SE. All rights reserved. 30

31 Data Management Perception

32 Analytics vs. Data Management (business view) Dashboards Reports Ad- Hoc Analysis Data Discovery Data Integration Data Cleansing Data Transformation Data Quality Master Data Management 33

33 Analytics vs. Data Management (realistic view) Dashboards Reports Ad- Hoc Analysis Data Discovery Data Integration Data Cleansing Data Transformation Data Quality Master Data Management 34

34 Data Management Situation

35 Semantic Wall Situation today: OLTP and OLAP separated, one-way streets only OLTP- System of Records: Information in only OLAP - System of Engagement: Information out only No write-back No real-time reporting Relational table design Data replication: Usually not real-time, long-running ETL-Jobs (Extraction-Transfer-Load) Redundant data storage

36 Effort for implementation, training, The Spectrum of Analytics Use Cases was separated as well Reports using generic BI-clients Pixel-perfect report Multi-dimensional report Dashboards (in-place) MS Office Planning Application Simulation Application Operational/ transactional Planning Insight-to-Action and decision support Decision automation and exception handling Analytical Apps with specific logic and UIs Simple List Read-only Planning/Simulation (writing data to non-operational stores) Write operational/transactional data

37 But in reality, business processes are often a sequence of transaction analysis transaction Enter Order Create new employee master data Check Customer Churn Probability Analyze yield and scrap of plants Check updated salary projection for cost centers Adjust discount percentage Send to all plant managers above/below certain thresholds

38 SAP HANA as a Database OLTP and OLAP together Transaction s Traditional: OLTP andolap Separate ETL 24hr Old Data Transaction s Stream s OLTP + OLAP in SAP HANA Multiple Data Sources ETL Smart Data Access Stream s 10:00AM StagingDB ETL 24+ Hours Lots of separate ETLprocesses! 10:00AM Multiple Data Sources available with Live Access 10:00:00 AM Immediate 10:00:00 AM Simplified: Eliminates staging DBs or intermediate calculation, aggregates and storage Accelerated: Pure-memory performance for real-time access and applications Internal
