A digital dashboard, also known as an enterprise dashboard or executive dashboard, is a business management tool used to visually ascertain the status (or "health") of a business enterprise via key business indicators. Digital dashboards use visual, at-a-glance displays of data pulled from disparate business systems to provide warnings, action notices, next steps, and summaries of business conditions.

Dashboards are visual representation of the data already collected and stored on your database. They through visualization convert Data into meaningful information that you can act upon.

Data is one of the most valuable assets owned by your business. Converting this data to meaningful information will help executive teams make important decisions.
