Ace Dashboards

You’ve got data

We know, as you know, that there is value in your data. You can make better and more timely decisions, set objectives and measure progress… if you can see the data.

However, we know that getting the data presented properly to you is not only hard, it can be expensive. And while those off the shelf products demo well, there can be expensive challenges to make them work with your data.

We’ve got solutions

At ACE, we have decades of experience capturing, cleaning, standardizing, organizing, analyzing and presenting data.

We have the expertise, the tools and the approach to get your dashboard or information presentation system up and running as quickly and as economically as possible. Our method revolves around four simple tenets that we call the ACE Philosophy.

The ACE Philosophy

Prototype, Prototype, Prototype

We’ve learned the best way to involve stakeholders in dashboard projects is to constantly update and review working dashboards. Users become engaged, ideas flow, and understanding happens when people get to touch the dashboard.

Embrace Change

In the real world, objectives and requirements change and evolve as people see the application. We believe an organization must approach their dashboard build with a methodology that embraces change. An adaptable approach is key to building the best product for your needs.

Measure Your Approach

Many a project has failed because it was just too ambitious. Taking small steps towards your goal may seem counter-intuitive at the start, but we’ve found that in the long run it’s more efficient if you can easily change course based on what you’ve learned. At the end of a big project, you’ve missed your target, and you’re stuck with a white elephant because you’ve burned all your resources. A series of small projects lets you adjust your direction constantly, so you can minimize wasted investment.

Utilize Your People

Different people have different skill sets, experience and expertise. The people are an organization’s best assets so it’s important and most cost effective to break the project down and assign tasks to the people best suited to complete them.
