Business Intelligence Dashboard

Post by guye_d »

Guys,

I'm new to the forum. Let me just say, its a great thing u guys are doing here.

I work for a small company doing IT, part of that includes reporting.

I have put in place a MySQL database to store the relevant information and report of it as necessary. As the business is growing rapidly, it has become more apparent that we need to produce executive type reports which allow the Board to look at the performance of the business at a glance. What I've been trying to do is implement the business objects type speedometers, graphs etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can go about developing these?

Thanks

Dudley

personally i would recommend d11:

its extremely light-weight and very customisable, personally i dont use it merely because i already built one a while back very similar and had no real need to change over..

I wrote a couple of articles on using JpGraph basic, more advanced.

I also dug through some file archives and located a presentation I gave on building a BI Dashboard using PHP for the March 2004 PHP|Cruise :) The powerpoint slide presentation is located here
