What is Analytics?

Analytics is a business intelligence tool that gives you greater visibility into your business. The dashboards use visualizations, charts, tables, and other elements to summarize and display data, helping you quickly monitor, analyze, and extract insights. Analytics helps you identify patterns, trends, and anomalies that reveal opportunities, assess risks, and highlight areas for improvement.

Microsoft Power BI powers Analytics. When you select Analytics from the N-central navigation menu, you can immediately access the dashboards.

When to Use Analytics

Use Analytics in N-central to gain deeper insights into your network, devices, and overall business performance. It helps you:

  • Monitor key metrics and trends over time

  • Identify unusual patterns or potential issues early

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of IT operations and service delivery

  • Support data-driven decisions for improvements and growth

Dashboards

Data upload delay!
*It will take approximately up to four hours for all data to propagate before any of the dashboards display data.* For Analytic Basic, the time is 24 hours.
Full data propagation may require between 24 to 48 hours to complete. During this time no information will be visible on the dashboards. For the Executive Summary report, data will appear after one month of use.

Analytics dashboards allow you to drill down on individual customers to see their data sets, helping you answer complex business questions that they may have. The visuals and aggregated forms allow you to compare or contrast values, and explore by drilling down and through.
