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.

The Oracle Fusion Dashboard Widget

Dashboard Spy Update: Using desktop widget technology for information delivery and visualization is a cutting edge idea that is catching on. By bringing the information up to the desktop layer, the user gets the information even sooner than launching a browser or application. For a related post on how Business Objects is doing Dashboard Widgets, be sure to visit this post: Business Intelligence Dashboard Widgets.

Oracle Fusion is the company’s massive project to come up with a new suite of java-based ERP applications that combine the various products Oracle has acquired with the original eBusiness suite. PeopleSoft Enterprise, Siebel for CRM, Retek for retail, JD Edwards World and Enterprise One - all these need to roll into one integrated experience. It’s an interesting challenge. For background, see this excellent paper on the reaction of Oracle customers to Fusion.

Dashboards will figure heavily in the Fusion applications. These dashboards are being positioned as a bigh benefit for users. Early on in the project cycle, as part of some proof of concepts, Oracle released some sales dashboards and some CRM dashboard. These leveraged aspects of the PeopleSoft Enterprise CRM and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications.

What is really interesting is that the design of the Fusion dashboards are forward-thinking. Note for example, the incorporation of widget technology for delivering business intelligence.

Look at this screenshot of a user desktop. There is a dashboard widget on the desktop!

Here is a picture of a rep talking up the benefits of an Oracle Fusion application dashboard:

In this post, I’m going to collect the screenshots of various sneak peek and preview images that Dashboard Spy readers who have been tracking the Oracle Fusion project have sent me.

Here is a closer look at the desktop with the Oracle fusion dashboard widget.

Here is a partial screen grab of a Siebel analytics dashboard - the new fusion dashboards will be ajax-driven.
