THEMATIC DASHBOARDS

The richness of the regulatory data on which this assessment is based makes it difficult to achieve the right balance between offering the audience unrestricted access to all the collected information and presenting it in an accessible and interactive way. We did not reach that balance in the past. With Keshif on board and using their proprietary but customizable visual dashboarding technology, we achieved to bring to life our rich dataset and complex scoring methodology. Using their dashboarding tools as the keystone, Keshif went on to develop an impeccable public website fully adhering to all corporate requirements that provide interactive access to our dataset, contributing to its broader impact. Keshif’s expertise, advice, responsiveness, and continuing support along a challenging process made it possible.
