Overall Satisfaction with BOARD

GVA uses BOARD to provide external clients with the ability to review their property portfolios. Users can review lease renewals, geographic locations, and financial summaries. Being programming language free, data models can be created very quickly and the design process can be very quick to visualize and implement. With powerful writeback and security features, it is possible to create user settings which persist after each session, meaning that such settings do not need to be reset on each successive login session. Also, this same ability allows for users to carry out forecast analysis by entering their own values to test without changing the global settings. The power of BOARD is now really starting to show itself and I'm very excited for what we will be building with it in the coming months.
  • Fast data modeling prototyping with data fast track.
  • Writeback allows for developers to create workflows and amazing security control which are quite a task for other BI software packages and usually require far more technical involvement and skill.
  • Geographic charting is fantastic. Being able to see the metrics and KPIs of properties in clusters on a map of the UK really allows the user to build a story.
  • The developer environment should be accessible from the internet. Developing on a desktop only to find visual issues online is quite time-consuming to rectify.
I have used Microstrategy, Cognos, SSMS WBI Stack, Infor BI. BOARD is fantastically more user-friendly. Capable of building a production model far quicker than any tool I've used previously and provides a complete solution where the others have separate applications, also requiring technical skills beforehand to be learned.
Geo charting allows for properties to be shown on a map and then for KPIs to show saturation levels and where hot spots could be.
