Datawatch, a provider of Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Information Management (EIM) systems, has released a new BI tool Dashboards, which it claims to give users visual insight into operational performance as well as the ability to graphically monitor specific business processes and events.
Datawatch Dashboards’ intuitive presentation style allows users to access information from multiple sources of data. A single screen consolidates and arranges critical data and facilitates one-click drill-down to information. It also allows users to personalise features such as layout view, chart style, formatting and filters, subject to the appropriate security level. Security options include individual, chart, dashboard or global level settings, the company said.
According to Datawatch, the new BI tool combined with its Monarch report mining technology, helps customers to overcome problems of accessing, aggregating, transforming and delivering the data to a dashboard from multiple sources. This combination also allows users to customise their data via calculated fields, look-up tables and other options to provide ‘what if’ and exception reporting capabilities.
Datawatch Dashboards is a browser-based data visualisation tool built on Microsoft ASP .NET 2.0 and Adobe Flash technology. It integrates with a variety of existing data sources including any OLE DB or ODBC compliant applications or databases, Microsoft Excel and XML, Datawatch said.
Datawatch Dashboards’ pricing starts at $9,995. It is also available in specially priced combination packages with several of its current products including Monarch Data Pump, the company’s server-based enterprise report mining and data ETL (Extraction, Transformation, Loading) system.
