With so many KPIs and metrics to watch over, Ducksboard provides data driven companies an elegant dashboard to display up-to-date information.
But graphs alone do not tell the entire story. 80% of data has a location component on it. At the end of the day everything happens somewhere. That’s why mapping is such an important tool to understand the importance of location on data. And CartoDB is the leading technology for mapping big real time data.
Companies like Twitter, Microsoft, Airbnb and Wall Street Journal already use Ducksboard and CartoDB to stay on track of their business performance. But until now those companies had limited possibilities of comparing and combining the beautiful charts and dashboards of Ducksboard with the story-telling maps of CartoDB.
