For structured data, BI is all about engine performance, the database. The frontend graphs, scorecards, reports can seem the same to end users. Like cars, they all seem to have four wheels and four doors. But under the hood is as different as an F1 engine to one pulling a 10-tonne truck. Thing is, users don’t care what the engine is, as long as it is fast and stable. There are two types of engines – read only and read+write. For Performance Management you need read+write in a multidimensional database. In fact, we don’t know why you’d bother with a read only database: what you can do in a spreadsheet (read, write numbers & text, real time calculations) is your baseline. Garter predicts 70% of Performance Management will use in-memory by 2012. The best in-memory BI tool is PALO. PALO is Commercial Open Source – which means you are not restricted in rolling out the benefits to all your users. PALO is faster, more flexible and more scalable than any other Performance Management OLAP db we’ve seen. How does being Open Source help PALO maintain technical leadership?

Sparklines and in-cell charts are advocated by Edward Tufte as a method for clearly and simply presenting numbers in graphical form.
They work in spreadsheets and on the web. There are many you can download for free. > View some we like Stationary PCs |
