Dashboard Screenshots published on November 27, 2006. blank
Back in March of 2005, the information technology research and advisory company, Meta Group, released a vendor evaluation study of companies offering solutions in the category of “Enterprise Reporting and Dashboards“. There were 9 criteria used to judge the competing enterprise dashboard vendors: Presence, Connectivity, Distribution, Scalability and Performance, Parameterization, Usability, Development, Administration and Pricing. Thanks to a Dashboard Spy reader at Cal State University, we have a copy of the study to share with you.We’ll look at sample dashboards from each vendor in the next few posts, but here are some graphics from the study to look at. The enterprise dashboard vendor study itself has detailed commentary that everybody involved in enterprise dashboard projects should study. It’s a must-read, so enjoy.

Everyone is asking - "Who is The Dashboard Spy?" As his about page states, The Dashboard Spy is just a guy interested in the design of enterprise dashboards. Put on a business intelligence project, he simply could not find any executive dashboard design source books (or even screenshots of real business dashboards) and so set about creating his own. By sneaking around IT departments grabbing screenshots and pestering dashboard implementation people, he was able to find real executive dashboard samples. After a while, he found himself with the world's biggest collection of business intelligence screenshots. He releases them through The Dashboard Spy Blog, where the screenshots appear with commentary. Those wishing to see just the screenshots themselves can browse the enterprise dashboard image gallery. If you have a nice screenshot of a digital dashboard, balanced scorecard, or any business intelligence graphic to share, please send an email to info _at_ dashboardspy.com. We're especially looking for Excel Dashboards, Xcelsius Dashboards, KPIs and metrics for specific industries, and cool business intelligence visualization techniques.
Keep up on the latest products and services for digital dashboards. A wide knowledge of the landscape is critical when it comes to the technology and vendor selection phase of your executive dashboard project.
