Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year. Though we're not Warren Buffet, the goal of any effective executive is to make a small number of high-quality decisions per day. When decisions carry that much weight, having the best data at your fingertips is vital. A growing tool for most companies is a well-designed executive portal that can provide executives with the data and information they need to make informed decisions and drive growth for their organizations.

The Foundation for Good Decisions

For many organizations that use tools like Power BI, Tableau and ThoughtSpot, Curator has become the foundation for their executive portal. Curator makes it easy to build a custom executive portal that natively integrates with your analytics platforms. Within minutes, you can create a homepage that holds the company's top KPIs that drill down to more detailed views for answers. In Curator, you have complete control over menus and navigation, enabling you to organize the content precisely as your executives expect. With our ability to tag content with keywords, executives can watch for new content to be added for critical areas and campaigns of the business.

Curator offers a broad range of customizations, allowing you to create targeted homepages and landing pages for each executive to reduce the noise further and focus on the critical content. Our Page Builder feature makes building these webpages easy and intuitive, with no coding needed. Page Builder can also be used to tell more specific data stories, like business reviews, where you can incorporate multiple pieces of analytical content and further elaborate through text and other images to get your analysis across.

The power of Curator goes even further, with Curator being able to support multiple instances so you can have sites for various regions and departments of the company. All this content from across the world can be made accessible and searchable, giving a wealth of content available to your executives.
