A long time Dashboard Spy reader shared his enthusiasm for the way the federal Recovery.gov site presents its transparency dashboards. They use a nicely laid out navigation page at their Recovery Explorer.

Your readers might find it interesting. I am not aware of any other information discovery resource in the public sector that surfaces up information in such a fairly clean and yet powerful way.

BTW, all of this is hosted in the cloud.

Here is the Recovery Explorer:

Definitely check these transparency dashboards out. They are powered by SAP and quite impressive.
