BSC Designer
BSC Designer is software that simplifies the
process of creating and managing Balanced Scorecards or KPI groups.
With BSC Designer, you can create a set of key
performance indicators, define relationships between groups and
indicators, and specify the importance of indicators. BSC Designer
provides a flexible way to calculate performance values depending
on indicator settings,
such as min/max values, target values, and measures. Performance formulas can be
customized to customer needs. The
resulting Scorecard can be exported into an MS Excel file or HTML
for further processing.
Another powerful feature of BSC Designer is
support for strategy maps.
This is a great way to visualize indicators and relationships
between them, providing a graphical representation of indicators
and their values. There are many types of strategy maps
available, including cyclical, table, and classical.
With BSC Designer, users can link together several scorecards
located on a local disk, network or website. This is a great way to
cooperate with other units in your company by sharing performance
history and current values as well as performance targets. Another
possibility for integrating BSC Designer with business systems
consists of SQL
Indicators, which help to read data from almost any database,
giving access to data in ERP or CRM systems.
BSC Designer provides the functionality necessary for working on
a high operational level. Managers and employees can use attachments to share
their ideas, tasks and reports. Attachments are a great way to
collaborate on improving company performance.
The BSC Designer allows using date-specific indicators. User can specify
the weight, scorecard, and min and max values for certain dates. To
show information about performance at various time points, there is
an HTML report function which gives
an overview with data tables and charts. The HTML reports can be
customized. Other
minor features include the ability to generate Excel reports for a
given date and specify user-defined units of measure. Additionally,
diagrams and charts and
stoplights make it easy to visualize
performance data.
With BSC Designer you can create a set of Key
Performance Indicators and group them into categories. Each
category and each indicator has a relative weight which speaks to
the importance of this indicator. You can define your own relative
weights or use the balancing function so that BSC Designer
calculates the values itself.
The indicator also has current, min and max
values. Depending on the optimization strategy, these values are
involved in the calculation of the performance within metric
categories and the total performance of the Balanced
Scorecard.
Once the scorecard is designed, it can be
exported into MS Excel for
further usage and integration with business systems, such as CRM or
ERP. A better option is saving the designed scorecard and sharing
it with co-workers both as a .BSC file (the native BSC Designer
filetype) and an MS Excel file. In addition, it can be exported as
an advanced HTML report, overview HTML report, dashboard report, or PowerPoint presentation.
BSC Designer is very simple to use, and you can find a functions overview here.
Note: BSC Designer is also available in an
SaaS version - BSC
Designer Online.
