A very powerful and comprehensive BI and CPM platform!
- Disconnected systems: Board's software provides a single, integrated platform for enterprise performance management, business intelligence, and analytics, which helps to eliminate data silos and improve the flow of information across my organization.
- Lack of visibility into key performance metrics: The software allows my businesses to easily access, analyze, and visualize key performance metrics, giving me a better understanding of our operations and performance.
- Financial Planning and Analysis
- Dashboarding and Reporting
- Data integration
- Interface could be more intuitive
- More advanced analytical features could be included
-Data Consistency: Having a single platform for both BI and CPM ensures that the data being used for analysis and reporting is consistent and accurate. This eliminates the need to manually combine data from different sources and reduces the risk of errors.

Board - reporting, budgeting and effective data sharing instantly
Board also allows the creation of dashboards for each level of the business from business unit manager up to executive. This enables the sharing of information and financial results immediately. Each executive within the business has a dashboard to manage their own individual KPI's.
The security flexibility within the system allows you to create multi levels of access to ensure the right people have access to relevant data.
- Allows business unit managers see their results when they are live.
- Allows drilldown capability and full transparency into all revenue and costs.
- Enables the business to make decisions on relevant and live data.
- Board is a one-stop shop for all data points within the organisation.
- Transitioning to Board 11 has taken time.
- The column nature of the structure in Board can limit flexibility if you are recreating old reports. However, this gives you a blank slate to create new Board reports.
- The overnight load from the systems into Board can sometimes fail. This is likely to do with the amount of data we are loading every night.
The right people have the right data at the right time to enable good decisions to be made quickly.
