Return on Investment
Avoiding data crammed into your Dashboards will make them run
more efficiently and make your users happier
Using WebI and/or Crystal Reports for detail data makes for a
better presentation of large amounts of data
Dashboard development time is reduced by limiting your
dashboard to just KPIs and Metrics

Best Practices

when migrating between Dev/Test/Prod or when upgrading

needed
Build parameters into your reports and pass values to them to
tailor the report output
