InfoCaptor web version is almost ready. It will be available as closed beta only for prior customers. I have been thinking about how to make it painless demonstration for the web. The idea is users will create the dashboard in desktop dashboard designer and hit publish. InfoCaptor will automatically generate the files in this portable server directory and launch the url for the dashboard. Just need to make sure how big the installation file ends up.

Interesting product. Definite candidate to be considered when the web based dashboard is released.

Reporting Tool Vs Dashboard Tool

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:28:00 +0000

Are you looking for a Reporting Tool or a Dashboard Tool?

Is your organization or company not getting the right answer?

What are the differences between a Report Software and a Dashboarding Tool?

There is a very thin line between a Report Software and Dashboard Software. Most often reporting software vendors provide some kind of dashboard functionality and vice versa.

So when do you need Reporting Software?

The need for reporting software arises when you need to create regular reports that you will either print as invoices, Bill, Checks etc. These kind of reporting software allows you to create pixel perfect report in PDF and hence easy to print to pre-formatted stationery.

And When do you need Dashboard Software?

If you happen to summarize lot of information into single Excel Dashboard or a power point slide so that you can send it to upper management, then that is the indicator that you need a Dashboarding Software.

Well, these explanation does not justify the differences between Report and Dashboard Software as there are lot of variety in reporting and same is true for Dashboarding.

Does the above explanation help you to decide what kind of tool you are looking for?

Project Management Reporting

Web-based project management tools are facilitating corporate firms and organisations all over the world. All team members can access their web based project management software through internet or intranet, no matter where they are.

Project management comprises of a number of features:
• Laying out the framework
• Scheduling
• Scope management
• Building support for the project
• Project reporting
• Change management
• Review

Reporting with project management tools comes in handy especially when a team is assigned more than one task. As they work simultaneously on different projects, they will be able to concentrate equally without getting confused, because the reporting software knows exactly how to keep track of their respective performances.

The reporting job is complex, since it involves the coordination of many different people and the completion of many tasks in a precise sequence. It has to be accurate because a great deal of time and money is spent in the planning and execution of projects, which should not go waste due to a minor error or negligence in reporting.

So how will you choose your Reporting or Dashboard Software?
