  2. Some Principles • Everything can be improved. • Get the best people to work on improving it. • Never give up. • Source: TIBCO President VivekRanadive

  3. I Saw This http://gov.aol.com/2012/11/27/gsa-launches-dashboard-tracking-governmentwide-acquisition-contr/

  4. I Went To This http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/103435

  5. I Waited For This http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/103435#

  6. I Decided I Needed This http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/103435#

  7. I Decided To Just Get The Excel Data http://www.gsa.gov/portal/category/103435#

  8. But That Failed, So I Screen Scraped It(All 19, 186 rows by 18 columns!) And made a Data Dictionary  http://semanticommunity.info/@api/deki/files/20124/GWACDashboard.xlsx

  9. Then I Imported Into Spotfire and https://silverspotfire.tibco.com/us/library#/users/bniemann/Public?GWACDashboard-Spotfire

  10. Re-Created the GWAC Dashboard Data https://silverspotfire.tibco.com/us/library#/users/bniemann/Public?GWACDashboard-Spotfire

  11. I Got the Following Results • I used my Spotfire Dashboard to explore the data and found the following highlights: • There are 51 agencies/programs listed but only 47 have data. • There are 5 contract types, 522 Industry Partners, and 10 years of data. • The Department of Defense has the highest total entries (2552), but the Department of State has the highest sum total estimated value of contracts (over $80 B). • SAIC is the leading industry partner (FAS Alliant GWAC of over $70B) out of a total of over $338 in contracts for all 522 Industry Partners.

  12. Conclusions • A Spotfire Dashboard is superior to Flash in the following ways: • Much faster performance due to in-memory analytics - I had to wait forever for the GWAC Dashboard to display different tabs and then query data. • More visualization types - I was able to create a sorted bar chart and dynamic cross-table that can then be searched by the Filters and displayed in the Details-on-Demand. • Stay tuned for my next What's on My Dashboard Today.
