openIntel is a solution that allows school districts to present informative reports to its end users in a variety of ways. One of the most popular presentation methods is a dashboard showing key performace indicators (KPI). KPI's can be determined for any quantitiative measure, such as attendance counts, test scores, discipline incidents and demographic counts. The dashboard presentation is a way to gather information at a glance. And from any dashboard report, you can design drill paths leading to more detailed information.

These example reports designed using the BIRT Report Designer. Each dashboard consists of four individual reports. The reports were designed using the BIRT graphical reporting tool. The only technical knowledge required is constructing SQL queries, which can be learned by any average technical personnel. Districts can use the example queries and reports included in openIntel to learn. openIntel documentation includes sample queries as well.
