What is Cosmos?• Self-serve Data Visualisation platform• Runs from “Fabric” data-file – including multi-

source data• Portal framework: roles-based access & extensible

structure• Exports to PDF, PPT, XLS• Closed Loop Performance Improvement tools:

– “OnPoint” Action Planning (OPAP)– Red Alerts– Organisational Action Maps

• Visualisations/ features:– Over 30 chart styles inc Org Charts, People Charts and

Action Maps– Composite report styles such as Scorecards– Click-through, drill-down and Report Assistant for navigation

• Tariff-based price model• Secure UK-based hosting

Multi-source Data

• Simple, normalised, vertical (“post-tables”) format Pre-QA’d by data team and in-sync with offline reporting

• Compatible out-of-the-box with all visualisation modules, thresholds and benchmarks

• Fast report rendering• Easy to generate using MR

processing / analysis packages – or using Kicktag service

• NOT used for “on-the-fly” reporting (freeform slice-and- dice)

Extending Cosmos• Build & deploy entire portal

frameworks using dashboard menu structures

• Deploy reports across-hierarchy or to specific report owners

• Highlight areas of concern by defining thresholds on the data

• Communicate red alerts using built-in communications system

• Enable “OnPoint” Action Planning (OPAP) to increase report-owner accountability

• Fuse external data into the Fabric file – e.g. employee data, revenue, retail traffic, economic variables

Example Structure of a Tracker

User Customisations

• Allow users to control their own preferences, such as: landing page; alerts; themes; languages; viewing mode

• Where users do not select preferences they will inherit from the project first, and then the system settings

Other Delivery Methods

• Use DeckBuilder to create PowerPoint decks from your charts

• Choose project, template PowerPoint file, format (PPT or PDF) – then include all the charts you need

• Alternatively, export dashboards direct from dashboard viewer mode, as single or multi-page documents

3. Advanced Reporting

Adding Actions & Insights

OnPoint Action Plan• Fabric data is automatically

benchmarked against threshold scores managed in Studio

• Any data point can have an OP Action Plan associated with it

• OPAP’s can be: Remedy / Reward / Maintain

• Dynamically accessed direct from any report

Manage Threshold Values• Any data point in the Fabric

data file can have Thresholds associated

• Thresholds are used to trigger OPAP trackers, Red Alerts and visual styles on charts

• Manage online as part of the data upload and QA

Visualise Thresholds

• Add ad-hoc thresholds on any chart in Cosmos Studio

• Set colours and visual styles

• Visualise on lines, gauges, bars, organisation charts, scorecards and other chart types.
