Dashboarding

Effective data visualization is not about choosing the latest visualization in the market; it is about choosing the right visualization that to fit the audience and business goals. With the wrong visualization, the intended message can be misinterpreted or lost for various reasons such as choosing a wrong chart type, bad style or inappropriate granularity of information.

At YVS Partners , we understand the unique needs of the customers and their business goals, and apply that knowledge to our data visualizations. Our professionals are not only trained in the data visualization tools to produce charts and dashboards, but also have advanced skills in user-centric design and human factors. We follow an interactive approach, working directly with customers to create visualizations that effectively communicate their messages. Our ability to understand customers’ unique needs and business goals lead to data visualizations that achieve the desired impact.

Dashboards

At YVS partners, our experience goes beyond the design and development of dashboards. We understand the complete dynamics involved in building an effective dashboard. Our implementation approach for dashboards falls in to three stages: discovery, conception and implementation.
We begin each dashboard implementation by working to understand your business goals, product roadmaps and key performance indicators. We ensure that user insights are translated into clear UX design that integrates the brand identity (look and feel).
These dashboards are standardized across multiple platforms to accommodate web and mobile use. Our graphics team creates mockups, wireframes, storyboards and walkthroughs to communicate the design to the business teams and arrive at the best possible design that integrates the visualizations with their respective technology platforms.

Here are the charactersics used when building Dashboards and Reportings

Informative

We strongly believe that dashboards should be designed around business processes and not around data. It is critical that the dashboard design and the context of data being represented follow a strategic plan to align with business goals. We start with a high level summary of key performance indicators, and progress to a detailed view of data including the most important metrics and supporting metrics to show a full view of insights. This process streamlines the identification of key performance indicators that should be highlighted, as well as trends and comparisons and alerts and exceptions..

Easy to Use

Where some companies create design-heavy dashboards with various color schemes and try to incorporate many key performance indicators in a visualization, our experience indicates that users do not easily adopt these dashboards. We follow the basic principles of design to avoid dashboards that create confusion. Our visualizations use color gradients, fading lines or white spaces as separators to facilitate understanding and implementation of each dashboard.
We also utilize widgets rather than grids to interpret information wherever possible. One of our key objectives in dashboard creation is to arrange information in a manner that makes logical sense and provides users with the ability to group and sort information with ease. We provide your organization with a dashboard that can provide answers with fewer clicks and is completely centered on workflow.

Easy to Use

Interactive abilities are one of the most important aspects of a successful dashboard. We consider interactive capabilities such as selectors, panels, widgets, layouts, drill downs and other navigation techniques to provide interaction opportunities for the end user. We also consider information windows to minimize the number of clicks and allow users to have an interactive experience with the dashboard.

Style

At YVS Partners, we understand that experience in both analytics and design are critical to a successful dashboard project. Our teams create the right balance of graphic designers and technical teams to give dashboards a stylish look and feel. We use each organizations’ brand style guide to create dashboards that fit their color palettes, using gradients of the same color and custom icons, rather than using a variety of contrasting colors, which can cause confusion for viewers.
