This visual although very simple seems to convey the clear trend for each industry and how the productivity has increased over the years.

And did you notice how the productivity for all the industries kind of merges to the value 100 for the year 2007. This information was not readily visible in the case of the pivot table.

This two visuals clearly demonstrates the power of different visualizations to convey the message.

  • Food services and drinking places

This is the best dashboard software for its price. One good thing we did was to hire their consulting services to build few dashboard prototypes and provide some quick dashboard training.

We evaluated Xcelsius and Qlikview and the cost for organization to implement dashboards was quoted over 10,000 USD. For fraction of the above quoted price, we were able to buy the licenses for the web based dashboard software and get some free training. This is truly a dashboard software for small businesses like us.
