Visual Mining, a provider of business intelligence (BI) dashboard and data visualization solutions, has rolled out a new release of NetCharts Performance Dashboards (NCPD), Version 2.1, designed to push ahead the notion of self-service business intelligence and performance management.

According to the company, NetCharts Performance Dashboards V 2.1 offers three key features to promote self-service BI and performance management:

  1. Improved on-page analysis without leaving the dashboard so users can perform deep, meaningful analysis by defining multi-dimensional calculations and delivering both visual and tabular context-sensitive drilldowns.
  2. Greater data interactivity-mouseover highlighting and interactive legends provide users greater visibility and clarity.
  3. Award winning visualizations, customizable by the user-by providing surface textures, rounded edges, directional alerting icons, and new pre-built color palettes and chart themes, users can customize visualizations to their preferences and produce either modern or classic-looking, interactive Key Performance Indicators, reports and dashboards.

Visual Mining positions NCPD as a versatile product depending on the organization - as a complementary tool for large organizations with complex, inflexible BI deployments, and as a simple performance management solution for smaller organizations.

"As with all of our product releases, this release of NetCharts Performance Dashboards addresses the direct needs of our customers," said Tristan Ziegler, President and CEO, Visual Mining, in a statement. "Based on customer feedback, the two most common needs we heard were: they needed to do more on their own with less reliance on IT, and they wanted to leverage technology to gain a deeper understanding of the business and promote accountability throughout their organizations."
