Excel can be a great tool to manipulate numbers and create simple reports. But with budgets and time cut the point in time aspects of Excel limit your ability to make accurate data-driven decisions. Many districts are starting to look into real-time analytics dashboards to aggregate data and present it in visually intuitive ways to improve decision making and accelerate daily operations.
In this session well review a few case studies for how Ohio districts can use dashboards to:
- Aggregate data across Finance and SIS platforms to monitor trends like Per Pupil Equity and spending patterns across various populations
- Monitor budgets and expenses to optimize funding and outcomes
- Track workflows and approvals to ensure requisitions are completed on time and budget
- Empower functional leaders to better manage their own budgets and approvals
