You find an example of this type of KPI report below.
Purpose of
RGU Analysis Dashboards Media companies use RGU Analysis Dashboards to give managers an easy, self-service way to quickly see trends and comparative RGU data. When used as part of good business practices in Sales and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its revenue growth and customer retention strategies, and it can reduce the chances that managers make slow or no decisions due to lack of clear RGU data.
