With that said, I actually think that using traditional BI solutions that can be deployed in an iGoogle dashboard could give users some "instant mashup" of combining several pieces of data on one screen in a very easy way. And make the solution a lot more attractive and "consumer like" which is exactly what our users want. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, great post Panorama.Alex T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-19953130414715631602008-09-13T20:53:00.000-04:002008-09-13T20:53:00.000-04:00Hosted dashboards (like the iGoogle platform) address <B>part</B> of the main issue facing BI today -- that being that BI is currently too complicated for most companies to deploy successfully. Even with a hosted portal/dashboard platform, companies are still left with the issue of managing their own data warehouses and analytic infrastructures to manage, process, and analyze the data.<BR/><BR/>However, hosted BI applications (like LucidEra) address this issue head on by managing that infrastructure as a hosted service and doing all the heavy lifting for the customer. Combining a hosted analytics solution with hosted portals/dashboards (like Google) is a fantastic combination. It's inevitable that BI will evolve in this direction.Ken Rudinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11820776865923936243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-24829793010071125292008-09-12T15:22:00.000-04:002008-09-12T15:22:00.000-04:00I read a couple of comments of people saying that being able to host iGoogle internally would make a lot of sense. These are interesting comments... my personal take is that this shows some lack of readiness for SaaS in some organizations... while They like the products that are available in a SaaS model they are not ready to make that step of trusting the vendor to host their data / apps. I think this is a natural stage in the evolution and expect to see Gartner's predictions on the adoption of SaaS to be accurate (65% of enterprise companies in the next 12 months will adopt some kind of SaaS and the vast majority in the next 5 years will make a major move towards SaaS).Oudi Antebihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02036313935100989924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-24514967897347137962008-09-12T15:15:00.000-04:002008-09-12T15:15:00.000-04:00I agree. This is very interesting adn powerful, but would be more prowerful if it could be hosted internally .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-46280948292533205972008-09-10T16:57:00.000-04:002008-09-10T16:57:00.000-04:00Sound interesting. But I heard that google doesn't want the corporation to host it themselves. I can't think of why a company would want their SAP data hosted by Google.orrlyfehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05604161741086637650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-47799468369672854872008-09-10T16:04:00.000-04:002008-09-10T16:04:00.000-04:00This all sounds great for most industries, but what about healthcare? Can somebody figure out how to integrate high-tech BI/analytics into America's hospitals, health systems and medical groups? If you can, please give me a call so we can help save healthcare's cost/pricing/quality issues and make millions while we're doing it.Mr. Universehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12948739238300498695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-84764557726565669762008-09-08T17:50:00.000-04:002008-09-08T17:50:00.000-04:00It's very interesting, but I know that it would be next to impossible to implement as-is into our business for IP and security reasons.<BR/><BR/>What is needed is an iGoogle aggregator appliance that could be developed to, which would live in-house, and have the ability to expose google portles as well as custom dashboards.Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12521817915044064719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659120700048149068.post-53067906309969388192008-08-20T18:37:00.000-04:002008-08-20T18:37:00.000-04:00Hi There!<BR/><BR/>Recently i heard a lot for google docs as well as gadgets. The most interesting one has come up to be Panorama Pivot Table. Eventually, tried it. It is cool!<BR/><BR/>I need to know how do i paste the chart generated by the panorama pivote table to the google speadsheet? as an image or any available format.<BR/><BR/>Thank YouNikoNiki - Take The Lead; Drive The Moodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16676732837476315812noreply@blogger.com
