So long static reports.
Static reports can only take analysis so far. Questions arise, another report is needed, more time devoted to report creation, and a lag or lack of infomation results. Frustration. Workforce Development administrators and program managers need to know what's happening, when they want to know. They need to know facts about who is being served. What's working? Why? Where are the best practices? Who's having trouble? For what group of people? More questions than ever at a time when we need answers, quickly.
Performance Matters Plus 7.8 contains features and services to help get you the answers...easily, efficiently, and accurately.

Share what you know with others, even those without a password, using the new Dashboard Application. Let them see and interact with your performance data the way you can. Inspire dialogue around performance; seek answers together. Monthly data load services, data warehousing and validation, application delivery and maintenance and keeping up with USDOL changes that impact performance monitoring and reporting are all our responsibility and part of the service.
