Local & Regional Government Cabinet Dashboard

Within the Local and Regional Government sphere, we’re commonly seeing councils spending a long time manually producing insights. These tend to be non-interactive and can introduce risks around quality, human error, and responsiveness – not to mention that such precious resources can be utilised in a far more productive way.

Our LRG Cabinet Dashboard can alleviate these risks, as well as provide an interactive and detailed view of your insights which is scalable to your needs. Benefit from a fully customisable and bespoke Power BI dashboard and PowerApps solution, alongside a secure data analytics platform hosted in Microsoft Azure and robust ETL pipelines. We’ll provide documentation and end user training, together with support to diagnose and resolve any technical issues.

We work with you to ensure your dashboard prioritises the data you want, with the drill-down capabilities to suit your needs.

Benefits & Deliverables

Key benefits include:

Single point of access for monitoring KPIs at Executive and Operational levels

Reduced time and effort for the manual process of extracting insights

Commentary on KPIs to understand the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’

A fully scalable solution for additional KPIs or reporting needs

Validation that your KPIs are fit for purpose, and recommendations based on our LRG sector experience

Evidence of regulatory compliance and adherence to standards

Although the Power BI Cabinet Dashboard is the primary deliverable, we also provide a PowerApps solution to add commentary to KPI measures over time. Both of these solutions are designed using our years of industry expertise and with your authorities’ needs in mind, enabling a bespoke design to visualise exactly what you want, with the capability of exporting visuals.

We develop a secure and scalable Modern Data Analytics Platform with Microsoft Azure technologies on which the Cabinet Dashboard can be hosted, which can also be built within your existing Azure environment. Integration in the form of robust and scalable ETL pipelines enables secure connectivity to your existing on-premise and cloud-hosted data sources, in order to copy your data into one place. Used in conjunction with a set of Power BI dashboards and reports, this allows insights from across the whole organisation to be quickly identified and investigated.

We also provide documentation, as well as technical support and user training, meaning the solution can be fully adopted and integrated into your data function to ensure successful adoption.

A version of the Cabinet Dashboard which does not include the Modern Data Analytics Platform, integration or support is also available for those with lesser resources – to learn more about this option, please contact us.
