Analytics

Claricent has devised a proven methodology for creating Analytic Dashboard platforms that pertain specifically to your needs. We engage hands-on working sessions within your organization in order to gain in-depth awareness of the critical business functions and metrics that need monitoring. At Claricent, we apply what is known as the Analyze Configure Execute (ACE) methodology, which focuses on the four components of the Claricent Analytic Dashboard (CAD).

The ACE (Analyze Configure Execute) Methodology breaks down into the following phases:

1. The Analyze Phase.

During the "Analyze Phase" we acquire basic information about your target market of consumers as a means of laying the groundwork for your project scope and details.

Through complex data analysis we are able to profile the Consumers who have a need for the data you deliver, as well as surmise how those Consumers interact with your data via the specific tools and instructions you provide. During the Analyze Phase, we will determine the answers to the following questions:

  • What information do you need to proceed?

  • Does the information support corporate goals and metrics?

  • What data is needed to support the Key Success Indicators (KSIs)?

  • Where is the data located?

  • How can the data be obtained?

2. The Configure Phase.

The main objective during the Configure Phase is to create and document a Dashboard Map, which will serve as a mockup of the final dashboard as it applies to your analytic needs and the means by which your customer will go about obtaining and using the information you provide.

This phase is marked by expansive brainstorm sessions and "possibilities," rather than single thoughts, limitations and restrictions. At this time, we work closely with members of your team to establish the presentation components and then map the interactions between them. Once completed, the dashboard map then serves as a design guide input to the Execute Prototype phase.

Design Presentation Theme

The Dashboard Map is used to achieve the following:

  • Create the theme that will be applied to the dashboard at runtime.

  • Develop custom graphics, color palettes, component layout, and textual content.

  • Finesse presentation components using proven design principles and created as "Widgets." representing the smallest unit of work possible.

  • Translate business logic, develop into programmed and data-driven business rules.

  • Create the reports, access paths, extraction programs, or data models necessary for providing the data to the dashboard.

3. The Execute Prototype Phase.

During the Prototype Phase, we develop a Dashboard Prototype for your organization. Because development is a constant iterative process, the focus is to create a working prototype that leverages consistent design principles.

Dashboard Templates

In addition to a proven methodology, we provide preconfigured, well-designed Dashboard Templates. The dashboard template enables rapid development while providing a polished working example.

The Preconfigured Dashboard Templates come with:

  • Predefined HTML Layouts

  • High-end graphics

  • Integrated Design Themes

  • Packaged Javascript Functions
