And made a Data Dictionary

Re-Created the GWAC Dashboard Data

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.

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.
