CS Odessa Releases a New Solution Area; “What is a Dashboard” Revolutionizes Progress Tracking for Businesses of Every Size

San Jose, CA, September 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- With the addition of the new ConceptDraw "What is a Dashboard" area, ConceptDraw PRO v9 now has the power to positively influence and even reshape the future of organizations of any size. Those essential business questions of "Where are we?", "Where are we going?" and "At what rate are we progressing?"are answered by metrics that businesses generate every day. Key Performance Indicators (KPI), as these metrics are called, are any of the items that have been identified as important to the wellbeing of the business — such as rate of bringing on new customers, cost of customer retention, number of customer complaints open, rate of leads generation, cost of sales, company burn rate, project progress, phone hold times, and anyof a myriad of other indicators of business health. Dynamic visualizations are practically necessary for tracking KPI. Several software tools can provide that visualization functionality, but ConceptDraw PRO v9 and ConceptDraw Office v2 are the first products to market that provide ease of configuration and design, as well as flexibility, simplicity, and economy.

Thanks to the ConceptDraw "What is a Dashboard" area for ConceptDraw PRO and ConceptDraw Office, now available in the ConceptDraw Solution Park, the power and insight that dashboards can bring to any size organization has never been more affordable. The ConceptDraw dashboard solution is available on both Apple Macintosh OS X and Microsoft Windows, and is economically priced at $199 for ConceptDraw PRO v9 and $499 for ConceptDraw Office 2. The power to visualize the status of your business continuously is now within reach of anyone.
