Dundas Dashboard Key Features
Easy integration and quick time-to-deployment give Dundas Dashboard the
edge
Dundas Dashboard is a comprehensive dashboard
platform designed to help you quickly create
custom business dashboard solutions with minimal IT department
involvement.
We've designed the browser-based platform with the knowledge that
users have different skill sets. We've matched those skills with the
various areas of the dashboard-building process.
There's very little code writing involved (if any), giving non-technical users,
managers and executives tremendous power to implement their own
dashboard applications.
Whether you will be using it standalone, within an existing ASP.NET portal, a Silverlight application or other web application, Dundas Dashboard is a powerful platform for your business intelligence needs.
Some key features of Dundas Dashboard include:
Dundas's web-based intuitive graphical dashboard designer UI allows for a desktop-like drag-and-drop design experience. Its full suite of styling elements, input controls and wizard-driven menus makes for fast and easy dashboard design. In addition, its ability to create drill-down and hover-over visualizations (with a few mouse clicks and no programming) makes dashboards more sophisticated and useful. Watch a high-level overview of the Dashboard Designer's many features and benefits.
