What is SAP Dashboard (Xcelsius)
Just a brief introduction for those who totally have no idea what SAP Dashboard (Xcelsius) is.
It is one of SAP Business Objects product that you can use to create dashboards.
Like its name, it has a strong association with Microsoft Excel. If you are good at Ms Excel you might find this software easy :) but you don't need to be a Ms Excel expert to use Xcelsius. As long as you know how to use Ms Excel function to get data that you need, that's it done with Ms Excel skill needed.
It has many ready-to-use components like graphics, input controls, etc, even maps; just drag and drop as you need; besides you can also develop your own component using Java prog. language.
Although it's a SAP product but it does not limit the use of different data source, it is can be connected to SQL or databases.
It also has many ready-to-use templates, this definitely very helpful for those who is not design literately like me :)
But for those who are really into design, they can design their own templates using flash or photoshop or....
And last but not least you can also mash-up it with Google map or Google motion chart or etc.
