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.

Mashups on Enterprise Dashboards - Is Mash-Dash the 2.0 of Enterprise Dashboards?

Enterprise dashboard implementation teams know that these business dashboards have always “mashed” together content from multiple sources. In fact, a big rationale for both enterprise dashboards and portals, is always the bringing together in a single view, content from sometimes far-flung systems across the enterprise.

What’s new in the current buzz about “mashups“, is the ease of bringing together content from target systems, both from your enterprise and from outside. This idea is not new (web services, syndicated feeds, sharing webparts in Sharepoint, etc), but this current ease of use (as seen in all those web 2.0 applications) is now making its way to enterprise dashboards.

The “Winter 07″ of salesforce.com has mashup capability as you see from this screenshot. I can tell right away that the salesforce.com dashboard now has some business objectcs xcelsius components. See this article about the salesforce.com mashup.
