The KPI Dashboard allows you to compare product results by criteria (KPIs). For each KPI, values are shown for all the products in the peer group selected in the peer group filter. The peer group average is displayed as a gray bar. All products displayed above the gray bar are above average in the peer group, and those below the gray bar are below average. At the top of the screen, you can choose which KPI and peer group to analyze.
This report shows a summary of the KPI results for a single product. Simply select a peer group and product in the filters at the top of the screen. The product filter will only display the products in the selected peer group. The peer group filter will only display the peer groups in which the selected product appears.
This screen allows you to make your own short list of products and compare them directly against each other based on multiple criteria. First select a peer group that you want as the basis for the product comparison in the filter. Then select the relevant criteria (KPIs). Multiple KPIs can be selected in this filter. Finally select the products you wish to compare.
The Data Management Survey Analyzer web app is an interactive tool that enables you to perform your own custom analysis of The Data Management Survey data. The app contains results from all the questions asked in The Data Management Survey 24. Product-related results based on a series of important criteria (known here as KPIs – Key Performance Indicators) are also available to view.
