"Intelligent Charting" & Dynamic Reporting
While Microsoft’s SQL Server 2008 offers some new charting capabilities, Dundas Chart provides additional (and critical!) functionality for SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS), focused on dramatically improving the appearance, usability and messaging of reports. One of the more interesting highlights is Dundas's "intelligent charting" feature.
Dundas defines intelligent charting as charts that look at the data and then change, depending on the data. Imagine a chart that shows your monthly sales. If you have a particularly good month, the chart could change somewhat (e.g., different colors, added annotations) - or conversely, a bad month could offer annotations to potentially show where you’re failing. Intelligent charting makes a point to identify issues for you clearly on the screen. The list of things you can do is almost limitless.
In addition, Dundas offers dynamic reporting, an efficient way to produce hundreds of reports. With Dundas Chart, users can usually start with only a few dynamic reports and build from there. If you have to make a different report every month because it changes monthly, Dundas Chart allows you to make just one dynamic report and let it change itself. Think of the months of development time you’ll save.
