With the evolution of the digital era, we are seeing more enterprises migrating to the Board cloud offering, largely because of uncapped data volumes. Uncapped data storage on the cloud facilitates efficient, effective decision-making and real-time analysis.

The Board Office Add-in offers capability to go beyond standard Excel reporting tools, supporting online and offline data entry to synchronise data automatically when they reconnect

The Board toolkit is accessible either on premise or on the cloud. The cloud solution is hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud, providing robust enterprise-wide scalability.

Studies indicate that nine out of 10 spreadsheets have some degree of error in them. It is unavoidable owing to the manual data entry involved in the creation of those sheets. And once you have input that data, what do you do with it, how do you analyse properly?

The Board toolkit uses the latest technology to enable users to pull in data from multiple sources and visualise it through an interactive dashboard. The toolkit then allows the user to run that data through functions such as predictive analytics to produce a more accurate picture on key metrics such as budgeting and forecasting.

The Board Office Add-in offers the capability to go beyond the standard Excel reporting tools, supporting both online and offline data entry to  synchronise data automatically when they reconnect, without affecting the integrity, consistency, traceability of data and, perhaps most importantly for the user, maintaining that familiar Excel environment they are used to.

The option to include charts, data views, cockpits, bubble charts, and maps, which can be automatically updated on a live link with the underlying data, helps elevate the presentation of data.

Board has its own predictive and machine learning engine, empowering business users to make better informed decisions on their own data, without the need to rely on any IT function. The interactive dashboard consistently updates its algorithm while providing a user-friendly front end.
