Investigation Tip 10

Internal investigation software solutions, such as i-Sight, allow investigators to view cases in real time using dashboard controls.

Internal investigation software solutions, such as i-Sight, allow investigators to view cases in real time using dashboard controls.  At a glance, investigative managers can monitor the workloads of team members, detect emerging trends and identify issues. Dashboards communicate complex information quickly. They translate corporate data into rich, graphical presentations using gauges, maps, charts, and other graphics to show multiple results simultaneously. Dynamic dashboards also let investigators drill-through to other data sources and reports for more detail about what the dashboard represents.

Dashboards are extremely useful in identifying the roots of problems. In many companies, certain issues may become prevalent in a specific department or office location. The ability to identify these trends is extremely important as it provides insight into areas of potential misconduct risk. Understanding these risks ahead of time allows managers to provide additional training or prepare/update policies addressing these issues.

Dashboard reporting makes it easy to:

  • Identify the most common allegations or investigation types
  • Analyze cases by geographic location or other relevant variable
  • Spot patterns and emerging trends
  • Report on the outcomes of your investigations
