Dashboard

From a simple excel dashboard to a fully integrated enterprise reporting suite, the Business Dashboard is being quickly adopted as the new face of Business Intelligence. It has a rapidly growing role in BI reporting and analysis.

An enterprise dashboard allows at-a-glance visualization of company health and monitoring of key performance indicators. Simple to understand and high in ROI, these executive dashboards are becoming "must-haves" for all enterprises. Easy-to-use by business users and fun-to-implement by the IT department, BI dashboard projects are quickly funded and politically popular.

WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard Screenshots

As a follow-up from yesterday’s Dashboard Spy post on the ranking of enterprise reporting and business intelligence dashboard vendors by Meta Group, we take a look at enterprise dashboards from their leading vendor, Information Builders. The WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard product provides a single interface to enterprise reports that the user is interested in. The reporting portal is customizable by the user in terms of report selection, color-coding, font and other user interface personalization.

As we saw in the enterprise dashboard vendor comparison, Information Builders scored a rating of 5.6, beating Business Objects and Actuate, both with scores of 5.4. See yesterday’s post for details.

Here is what the Meta Group said about the product:

Information Builders WebFocus 5.3

Information Builders finishes as the overall leader in the enterprise reporting and dashboards vendor evaluation. Information Builders is only one of two vendors to score above average or best in class in all evaluation categories. A longstanding product, WebFocus delivers enterprise reporting and dashboard capabilities to more than 11,000 customer sites with deployments in excess of more than two million users.

Strengths

• Best-in-class distribution, parameter processing, usability, and pricing
• Above-average scores in presence, distribution, scalability and performance, development, and
administration
• Support of real-time and native data access through an extensive offering of more than 180 data adapters
• Good Excel support with cell locking becoming available in the next release
• Strong visualization capabilities through ownership of Advizor source code

Limitations

• Real data not represented in WYSIWYG report formatting interface
• Support of report caching only; additional caching features planned for future releases
• No check in/check out or versioning support for multiple developers

Here are the screenshots I promised on several enterprise dashboards done using WebFOCUS.
