Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We build and embed dashboards on our proprietary UI, to implement a reporting functionality for clients

Not needing to build reporting/BI functionality & infrastructure from scratch

Pros and Cons

UI is friendly
Separation of workspaces per client is smooth & works well

Need to have a more customisable embedded component to allow more functionality to the end user without having to go to GoodData's site and customise dashboards

Return on Investment

Our reporting functionality is a game-changer for the maritime crewing industry

Usability

Would be 9 or 10 if we had more customization options on the embedded component

Implementation

Trial issues took some time to solve, but after purchasing, we were live within 2 weeks w/ MVP and 4 weeks w/ full
