Dashboards Improve Workforce

2004-11-08T11:09:00.000+08:00

Dashboards are where executives, managers, and other employees can see how their area of responsibility within a company is performing, and then take necessary action. For mobile services giant Vodafone, a dashboard built atop a data warehouse and several databases is crucial in presenting information about call center performance. After Vodafone used dashboards to figure out how the call center

Coming this merdeka will be exactly 5 months since I've had any work. Feels like just a month.. hehe.. time flies when you're having fun... supposed to get new position confirmed by end of the month... so I've been sitting in the office surfing the Net and playing scrabble to kill time... plus been going through all my friend's blogs... although a better way would of course be to call them up and

Squash, ouch!hehe... that's what I looked like after my first squash game in more than 2 months.. first attempt was on Saturday.. lasted maybe the whole of 8 minutes before taking a break.. then continued for maybe 5 minutes.. never felt so unfit in my whole life.. my heart was racing so fast from trying to chase a few drop balls.. i felt like my heart was going to burst... went back home and did

Deep Sea anyone? or ?Facts from National Geographic Channel... In this century :1. 8,000 ppl have reached the summit of Mt. Everest (probably more)2. 1,000 ppl have reached outer space3. Only 2 ppl have explored the deep sea - Dan Wright and Jacques P.Interesting.. what makes outer space more important than our deep blue oceans? The world is obsessed with uncovering the secrets of stars and

What would you do if you had 2 months leave?Easy question that I liked to ask myself and my friends during my 2 months break.. not that I had time to plan and think about what to do, I just woke up one day, went to the hospital for check-up and *BAM*, woke up post-surgery and my hubby was holding my hand, telling me everything's going to be ok.. I was given a long leave.. leaving the lovely

The yummiest fruit : mango aka pauh Ok, i learnt a new word.. pauh.. Zul was telling me the whole morning that his father sent buah pauh from Kelantan.. and all I thot was, "Pauh? Must be one of those rare fruits I've never seen".. so we went to the supermarket, and what do I buy? A bag of mangoes... Zul was looking at me really strange, "Why are u getting mangoes? Ayah sent us a lot of pauh"..

Celtics beat NuggetsThe first thing I did this morning is to browse nba.com to follow the game between my fav team Celtics vs. Nuggets.It must be a very exciting game since lead has been switched quite a few times.Paul Pierce He did it again as he took leadership and brought the rest of the team to victory.Not many ppl I know root for Celtics as they have the ugliest color which is green dont

Murphy's Law - Everything that can go wrong will go wrongShort of drowning, everything happened to us on this trip... sea sickness, rough weather, we lost our camera (more about that later), strong currents, my regulator (for breathing underwater) was free flow (air wouldn't stop coming out, which means I would have run out of air quickly), lost our fins (thrice!) ... but we thoroughly enjoyed it

Where are all the big big fish? One thing we noticed on our subsequent dives was the lack of pelagic (big) wildlife.. guess our expectations were pretty, after all the publicity and glamour of Sipadan.. even at Barracuda Point, which is world famous for those gorgeous pictures of large swirling barracudas .. there were none there! The big theory is that there have been too many divers, hence

First Dive or Dip?After a few glasses of fruitace mango juice and waiting for the Japaness to fill up the release form, we are heading for our first dive which is at the drop off, just right in front of the resort.I dont think it's valid dive as it only lasted 6 minutes and 19 ft. The reason was that the anti fog might have reacted with the time and heat to cause it to expire sooner and causes

Siapadan and KapalaiI've put some pics here...will put more later... we took 451 pics, so will sort out the good ones.The trip started at 4 am on Saturday morning where the airport limo was ready to pick us up at 3:45 am. At first I thought the driver was the driver who tried to con me in paying more since he was driving a new Daewoo MPV, but it was the kind driver that found the keys that I

Lemon TreeLast weekend I was in the kitchen washing dishes when suddenly they played "Lemon Tree".. immediate flashbacks of walking around the my college campus on the way to class with shaz and ain .. it was 1996 then, and the song was #1 one the charts (in Malaysia, that is).. we loved the lyrics and the tune, which seemed to fit our life so well then..

My radio wears a dress...Did you know that french and arabic both describe objects by gender? for example, in french a car would be female, blouse - male, present - male, days - female... so it's 'le' for male and 'la' for female (le / la - the equivalent of 'the')... so a table would be 'la table' to indicate it's female... confusing isn't it? can't the objects all be gay? as zul pointed out,

7:07 pm ... Nov. 24th...Eid Mubarak's eve, I got a phone call and it was from office. Didnt manage to pick it up as the caller probably gave up since i was enjoying the break fast and taking my time to pick it up. Feeling not tooo confortable since I would be on leave for almost a week. Called my team and he told me that India could not establish connection due to VPN is not working. Sheeshhh!

Violent entertainment, anyone?What is this obsession with violence, blood and gore? If someone can just explain it to me in simple sentences (plse, no psycho-analysis on the fascination with the dark side of human nature).. i read this statement from a u.s. critic "violence is replacing entertainment" - i couldn't agree more... Guess what was #4 in the countdown for the "Top 10 movies in UK" -

How many bags does a women really need?I can really relate to Aishaza's blog on her raya shoes ... i think most women have this love affair with our bags and shoes .. i read this in a magazine - i think Cleo - an interview with a european designer, and the question was, "How many bags does a women really need?"... the answer.. "One a day, for the rest of her life"... hehe.. but it's not just

War & PeaceOk.. here's another tribute to the saying "Don't judge the book by it's cover".. the book in question here is "War & Peace" by Leo Tolstoy.. it's as thick as the Lord of The Rings, and has about 1500 pages, depending on which edition you buy (it's the kind of book you put on other books to straighten out the pages yang 'bengkok')... I always told myself.. I'm going to read that book

Happy PhantomOk, so Zul and I finally decided on a name for our blog.. originally it was "Misplaced Childhood", which antusemut later told me that when she read the title, she was said, "Oh oh, ada masalah ke ni? Or it must be a name of a song".. hehe.. you are so comel! But antusemut is right.. it's one of Zul's fav songs from the band Marillion - famous singer called fish.. strange for all
