EspressDashboard is a web-based enterprise business intelligence (BI) dashboard delivery/publishing system. It allows users to easily query key performance data, develop charts, reports, maps and incorporate them into self-service dashboards for immediate web-based publishing without programming.
 One of the greatest assets in an organization is the business performance data. Whether it's about cash flow, manufacturing, customer relations, sales, marketing, project management, human resource, network security, etc., the management, business analyst and responsible personnel need to have up-to-date information and key-performance indicators at their finger-tips in order to analyze the data, spot trends and make the right decision at the right time. EspressDashboard can seamlessly access data from virtually any data source. It can draw data from JDBC/ODBC compliant databases, JNDI data sources, data warehouses, WSDL SOAP, SalesForce SOAP, text files, XML files, Excel Spreadsheets, Java class files and EJBs. Its straight forward Java EE architecture and intuitive, drag and drop user interfaces allow users to finish major projects with presentation quality charts, reports and highly interactive and actionable dashboards in days, not months. Its robust role based security model and user authentication/permission features allow the enterprise to disseminate the right KPI dashboards to the right audience at the right time.
Unlike many other dashboard solutions, EspressDashboard allows users to create and deploy dashboards without any administrative or development overhead. The integrated Dashboard Builder, provides all the tools users need to create custom dashboards in a simple thin-client environment.
Powerful Actionable Dashboards:
Shared Parameters:
Users can specify filter parameters with various layouts on the dashboard. These parameters can be shared among elements on the dashboard to provide uniform ranges of the KPIs at run-time. Unlimited Drill-down:
To see detailed information about certain data point, users can drill-down to a chart, report, map or another dashboard. There is no limit as to how far deep one can drill-down to and how many points to drill from. Element Linking:
Clicking on a data point in one element will propagate the value to other elements on the dashboard. In effect, the affected elements on the same dashboard are refreshed with parameter value fed from the data point clicked. Space Efficient Folders:
Put a group of reports and charts in a "folder" on the dashboard so more information can be packed in a dashboard. Real-time Refresh: Users can set up automatic refresh time interval for refreshing of data in the dashboard. Slide Show:
A group of dashboards can be run as slide shows for customized data monitoring or professional presentations. Flexible Formats:
Display dashboard charts in either static images for universal compatibility or in animated flash for added visual appeal.
Flexible Data Visualization:
Over 30 Chart Types:
EspressDashboard supports over 30 different two-dimensional and three-dimensional charts. With advanced rendering algorithms, 3D charts are true 3D, allowing real-time pan/zoom, rotation, and light source modification. 3D Pie and Doughnut charts are rendered with smooth gradients. Animated Flash Charts:
Charts can be exported to Adobe Flash format, as well as common file formats such as GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG, WMF, PDF. The user can enable or disable animation for the Flash file and set the frame rate for animated Flash. Report with Charts:
Report types include tabular reports with or without grouping. Charts can be included in a report as well. Two Types of Maps:. Supports Google maps as well as SVG maps adding yet another dimension to data visualization.
Robust Enterprise Platform:
Highly Scalable:
Scales from tens of users to thousands of users with ease. Supports clustering and load-balancing for large deployment. Secure Deployment:
Dashboards as well as data in these dashboards will be accessed via a robust role based access control model. As such, only authorized users can access the specific dashboards. In addition, the same dashboards available to different users will present different data in the dashboards based on the security levels of the users. The number of dashboards, reports and charts can therefore be minimized, because you only need one copy of each item. The system is quicker to implement and more maintainable as a result. Supports Ad Hoc Reporting:
A zero-learning curve ad hoc reporting interface is available for users to easily make reports and charts for the dashboards. Runs on Mobile Devices: Dashboards can
be viewed on-the-go from mobile devices such as the iPad and iPhone from Apple.
