Any organization that has an MIS would most probably want to make it easy for the top management to get reports structured so as to show performance trends based on their KPIs. There are many tools that help produce such reports using various illustrations, the oldest and most broadly used being MS Excel. For organizations with large information systems producing 100,000+ transactions, using Excel as their core dashboard would be pushing it too far. "Dundas Dashboards" is a tool that makes it quite a breeze to meet the dashboard needs for such an organization.
Dundas is a server based dashboard tool that integrates well with most large databases (Oracle, SQL, MY SQL) and also allows for integration with smaller datasources like MS Access, Excel, Text files ect. This implies that with this tool you will not only have a dashboard system that links to your monstrous databases, but you will have the flexibility of integrating your transactional data from the large systems with other metrics that you have collected using the good old Excel spreadsheet.
For example to create a dashboard that shows trends in your sales and expenses and relating this to trends in macro economic parameters like GDP and inflation is not only possible but will always be upto date through connections to your data sources. Dundas also gives you lots of different illustration objects that make the dashboard not only look appealing but also easy to inteprete for top management team that is always short of time.
