Dashboards and Analytics
Both Google and Bing offer free dashboards that will measure your website’s standing to help keep you on the leading edge. These analytics will also measure your website traffic and provides tools for social media analysis (Twenty Feet and Tweeb). Dashboards are generally being used by large industries, but are also gradually being used by small businesses too, in the form of off-the-shelf products. In Dinero, Dashboard to Success, and Zoho Dashboards are a few examples.
Mobile Applications
Mobile applications and software are now available everywhere for email, PDAs, smartphones, tablets and other handheld devices. These mobile apps help employees improve productivity by increasing communication from any location. Team members can work together from different offices, and business travelers can be in touch with customers, staff and vendors. Other uses for mobile technology include mobile ticketing, coupons, vouchers and loyalty cards, mobile location-based services, mobile information services (i.e., stock quotes, financial records), mobile banking (bill payments, bank balances, virtual checks, funds transfers and verification of deposits), mobile brokerage, and mobile purchases and delivery. A business can receive orders electronically by mobile devices via mobile websites, and catalogs can be delivered the same way.
Browser-Based Security for Financial Services
One specialist in risk management and compliance software for the financial services industry is FRS Global. It has two flexible web-based versions of its products. These are Java-based solutions that can run in several browsers and give access to the same online analytical processes and dashboards as a firm’s conventional software. This means that compliance officers and other executives have options now to get reports through their mobile devices. They can also view results of regulatory reporting data and risk levels, using tools for easy analysis. FRS Global plans to add additional functions to its website during 2011 including advanced data workflow management and individual workflow management.
