The WebSphere Portal Dashboard Accelerator extends value of Business Intelligence solutions by enabling that data to combine seamlessly with other transactional, collaborative or operational content. These new builders for Cognos, Business Objects and Hyperion enable customers to embed BI data into a WebSphere Portal Dashboard at a fraction of the development cost. This lets companies extract BI data and present it in new, different or more meaningful contexts through the portal.
The new builder capability in IBM Dashboard Accelerator will allow millions of WebSphere Portal customers to leverage composite applications that can combine granular Cognos, Business Objects, and Hyperion content together with other applications and feeds, at a lower total cost of ownership.
