Business Benefits
Hexaware’s solution provided the following
key benefits to the organization:
Requirement to present information which pertain to multiple date ranges in a single dashboard
(e.g. data for selected date range alongside data from start of month to current date and data
from start of year to current date).
Better experience to the client’s end users
due to flexible, graphic rich and user
friendly dashboards
Requirement to filter multiple data columns based on a single user supplied prompt.
Availability of drill-down and navigation
features in dashboards enabled the
organization’s end-users to interact with

and solved technical setup problems in the seed data provided by Siebel.
