At BlueGranite we've been considering the best way to provide better visibility to all the great capabilities BI and Dashboards deliver.
More often than not, when I do an in-person demo of a dashboard solution, it's the first time the audience has seen this kind of solution before--except for maybe a screen print or a sketch. Personally I don't think an interactive dashboard can be explained or even understood by seeing a screen print!
So, today I made a quick (5 minutes) demo and uploaded it to YouTube...kind of a test of whether this is a good format to share quick ideas and demos. Afterall, there are only so many opportunities to visit in person, and who can be everywhere at once? (hopefully with the Internet, I can?)
The video below demonstrates a BI solution which is a reduced scope demo of a solution our firm implemented in the transportation (trucking) industry. The technology is primarily SharePoint, PerformancePoint, SQL Server Analysis Services, Silverlight and Bing Maps.
If you like this way of communicating/blogging for BI demonstration and best practice, let me know. It takes more time than writing, but if it's useful then in my view it's worth the time.
