Think sailing and business intelligence software have little in common? Watch this video to see how a mashup of GPS technology, Google Maps and SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius dashboarding software helped sailors gain a competitive advantage at this year’s 505 World Sailing Championship by helping them to:
- Model the best possible route based on currents and winds
- Get instant real-time feedback on other sailors in order to be able to alter and adjust their strategy
- Review performance against plan to identify areas of improvement
While this is an excellent example of a non-business application of dashboards, think of how the same principles can be applied to optimize strategy and performance at your company and/or in your department to get a leg up on the competition!
