Visualization Add-ons for SAP BO Dashboards (Xcelsius)

Fast and secure communication of information is essential. Graphical visualizations can greatly support the communication and decisions-making processes through a simple and transparent visualization of information.

The graphomate add-ons for SAP BO Dashboars (Xcelsius) allow you to develop presentations and dashboards simply according to modern rules of visualization. Through integration of the add-ons in SAP BO Dashboards (Xcelsius), which can process data from BI architectures, it is now possible for the first time to apply these rules to dashboards and reports company-wide.

The starting point for our development was the professional requirements which presenters and persons who work with figures have of good charts:

"Show me the numbers!" - Auxiliary lines, colors and Flash effects only distract the recipient from the actual facts: We´ll show you the numbers!
Timelines and structural visualizations - All charts can be aligned horizontally and vertically
Concentrating information - Analyzing means comparing and in this case: "A lot helps a lot!"
Deviation analysis - Absolute and percentage deviations can be added to the base chart with a click of the mouse
Uniform notation - The format of the objects bears information, such as in the Hi-Notation Concept of Hichert+Partner AG

Our add-ons offer you many new chart types that can be used easily via drag&drop in Xcelsius. You can receive them in addition to the Free Version, as well as in the Basic, Professional and Enterprise-Versions.
