About Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
One of the advantages of using OLAP is the ability to use an intuitive reporting
framework. This framework lets you quickly translate large data volumes with
the goal of making informed business decisions. Analysis Services leverages this
capability through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). KPIs are defined as
quantifiable measures that represent a critical success factor in an organization.
The emphasis is on the action of quantifying something in the environment. For
example, the KPIs must be measurable to successfully be monitored and compared
against a given objective.
In IT Analytics Solution, KPIs are created from existing measures. However, not
all measures are good candidates for KPI utilization. A measure should be leverage
in a KPI only if it represents a critical success factor to gauge performance. Besides
being measurable and performance-oriented, KPIs should be used to track progress
against strategic, typically the long-term goals that remain fairly static in nature.
KPIs consist of four critical elements, and IT Analytics Solution offers the flexibility
to define each of the following expressions:
■
A Value Expression is an MDX expression that represents the primary
measurement for this KPI. For example, Computer Count.
■
A Goal Expression is an MDX expression that represents the desired target for
the measure that is used for the Value Expression.
