We are moving from traditional dashboards to BI Apps
Traditional Dashboards BI Apps Started out as reports adding in
visual charts for overview of KPI’s
Moving to more interactivity like drill downs, traffic lights, gauges
An application is usually prebuilt and designed to help the user perform a certain activity
Moving into high levels of user interactivity (i.e. changing chart type, filters and interactive charts)
