Focused Insights
With Focused Insights, SAP have created a means to deliver a clear, concise and personalised view of the data held within SAP Solution Manager without the need for programming or lengthy development cycles. From the CIO to the Technical Experts, Focused Insights removes the inherent complexity of the data, making the information easy to understand and empowering users to make informed business decisions.
Tailored to specific roles, the easily customisable Dashboards allow users to act upon data and ensure the IT organisation is delivering against its targets. The data is presented in different forms, from the highly aggregated and historical data through to real-time and raw data depending on how it needs to be consumed:
- Strategic View: for Executives & CIOs. Is the organisation meeting its objectives? A presentation of High level metrics and KPIs, for example an IT scorecard; with thresholds used to generate easy to digest colour ratings.
- Governance View: for Managers. Is the organisation meeting its Service Levels? A mix of real time values, trends and summary alerts. Generally summarised over longer periods such as hours, days or weeks.
- Operations View: for Experts. Are there trends in the data that indicate potential issues and a need for proactive measures? This is a real-time, detailed view of data, performance measures and status values.
Whatever level of granularity you select, you can always drill down to the detail, but as you can see, this capability isn’t just for ‘nerds’! The information provides real, consumable information for management or non-technical users, in addition to more specialised dashboards for the IT experts. Dashboards can be built from scratch or based upon SAP’s predefined best practice catalogues of KPIs as a starting point.
