DSP Performance Canvas

The New Performance Canvas launched in 2007 means a huge step forward in what a ordinary business user can achieve without any in depth knowledge of OLAP, Cubes, Measures, Dimensions and other BI lingo. In 15 minutes an business user is able to
- Analyze the business situation, comment and communicate to initiate action.
- Find relevant data using standard search technologies like Microsoft Enterprise Search or Google Enterprise Search.
- Create a new drillable Performance Dashboard/ Scorecard based on the defined business terms using nothing but a web browser responding to a new business need.
- Save this Performance Dashboard/ Scorecard and give other users access to it by emailing a simple link.
- Publish the same Performance Dashboard for mobile use in his/ hers cell phone or BlackBerry and send the link to the device as a bookmark and to a colleague as well.
All of this is done maintaining the core values of real Business Intelligence solutions:
- Extremely high performance powered by the industry's leading OLAP/ UDM engine and Business Intelligence infrastructure - Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.
- One version of the truth used by all information workers in the organization.
- Fully using and leveraging the open standards for Business Intelligence giving unparalleled possibilities in consistent integration of business data by business professionals.

Immediate value
For each user category using DSP will shorten the time-to-performance to its minimum, thereby improving the responsive of every part in the use of BI technology throughout your organization.
Use it wherever you work
The different canvases bring BI into every part of your work. BI is now a part of your Microsoft SharePoint, Vista and Office experiences, as well as omnipresent in Web 2.0, for Mobile users and in your Enterprise Search system of choice for easy text search access.
Action, Communication and Collaboration are key
Almost every task assigned to an information worker involves three phases - 1) Collecting the relevant information for the task, 2) Performing some intellectual work (often a collaborative effort) and 3) Performing some type of action as result of second phase - such action almost always involving communication and collaboration. While most BI tools focus on the first phase, DSP Products are designed from the start with a bias towards Action, Communication and Collaboration to increase organizational performance addressing all three phases.
Simple Licensing
DSP has always had a mission of bringing BI to every information worker. A key deliverable in this is our no-nonsense pricing. Our simple licensing schemes make it easy to deploy pervasive Web based solutions throughout your organization without having count users.
"Implementing Decision Support Panel's webparts allows me to build more content in less time for clients than other similar products. DSP's easy to configure webparts also support all cube and SharePoint / WSS security settings which is often a large concern of clients when posting their information on a portal."

"Developing with DSP together with Microsoft has been such a great experience. DSP has offered us a huge range of features to work with Microsoft Analysis Services databases and SharePoint Services, which we have made good use of. Recall's lines of business needed a simple and efficient way of displaying business information, and we could achieve it with those tools"
