BI dashboard software

I am a BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence (XIR2) report developer and there is a need at my work for a dashboard showing measurements of the firm towards meeting budgets and trend analysis, etc. I am seeking any input on suitable software (both paid and free) that will achieve this.

Ideally we would like the software to be integrated into a custom windows form application that we have developed (DotNet 3.0), so something that can be integrated into Visual Studio 2008 would be great, but if there are any recommendations for standalone applications that are forms or web based then this would be greatly appreciated.

We would want an application that开发者_如何学编程 makes use of traffic lights to highlight trouble areas, gauges (such as speedo), worm lines or similar trend visual representations.

I am an experienced report developer and am wanting to expand my knowledge into more statistics and visual analysis of data, so my knowledge of statistics is very green so I appologise in advance if I have mis-used any language.

Thanks,

Matt

Try taking a look at Dundas components. Looks like they have tight integration with .NET. Business Objects also has a dashboard builder. I am not sure why you are not using that if you already have the BO skills

Our BI software is a Web-based server application, and it offers a high-degree of customization so I am pretty sure you'd be able to design the kind of dashboard you describe.

You can check out some examples and download a free eval at:

Also, an InetSoft SE can give you personalized guidance on getting started.
