I was chatting with a colleague recently about trends in BI and I brought up what I call the “commoditization of metrics” . Google Analytics is an early example of this — your data crunched and delivered at the KPI level.
I recently ran across a great example of the commodity metrics idea: Yoke.io.
Yoke let’s you build your own dashboard using metrics gleaned from cloud services such as Gmail, Twitter and Github. Here’s a portion of my Yoke dashboard. It’s all built with a few clicks and no coding.
Give Yoke.io a try, it’s free!

Join me at the upcoming “Masters Summit for Qlik” in Milan on 5-7 April. In addition to learning about all things Qlik, we’ll be talking about trends in Dashboarding and BI.
You can set up your personal Yoke dashboard in seconds. Once the dashboard is ready, the cards will help you decide what you should do next. Clicking the card takes you to the relevant page in the external application.
