As the usefulness of any visualization tool is dependent upon the information
being visualized – Garbage In, Garbage Out (better looking garbage is till
just garbage) – the following must be achieved before visualization and
dissemination of information is undertaken;
- Ensure that information is C.A.V.E.
compliant
- Development of reporting views that make sense for the business
- Hierarchical data and group structure definition
- End-user aggregation levels - each user will have a different need i.e. a
Board Member will not be concerned with a potential or actual $1,000 loss but
in a chain of losses exceeding $10,000 per day for a business area
- Timeliness of collection and collation of information to be visualized (per
second, daily, weekly, monthly)
- Alert and escalation procedures including notification tree structure and
delivery mechanism (Instant Messaging, Portal, Email etc…)

from other information, must be defined. These may include metrics around;
