The advent of the World Wide Web has provided information workers with easy access to large volumes of data. However, the resulting information overload has resulted in a situation in which it remains difficult for workers to locate and assimilate easily the specific information they require. The result of this information overload can be lost information, mistaken priorities, trends that go unnoticed, and duplication of work.

A Digital Dashboard addresses this problem by providing a consolidated view of the specific information you require. Digital Dashboards combat information overload by:

• Helping employees focus on business priorities. A Digital Dashboard consolidates information from multiple sources. In addition, the Digital Dashboard framework is designed to be modular, so you can design and incorporate into the dashboard the information that represents your priorities.
• Delivering information in the office or on the move. Knowledge workers can use a Digital Dashboard no matter where they are. Information from different sources, including favorite Web sites and shared public folders, can be synchronized for offline viewing and analysis.
