Hovering Desktop Gadgets

Tired of logging in and out of countless applications and web sites over and over again just to retrieve bits and pieces of information? Enter the business flight deck. See your important business performance data in an intuitive, easy to read heads-up display. Business Gauges Dashboard is always under your fingertips, integrating any number of data-sources and showing your key performance indicators, all the time, in real-time.

Create Customized Dashboard Configurations

You can mix-and-match gauges together and set their individual properties to create your own set of dashboard configurations, one for each task or topic. (i.e. "Sales Performance", "Web Site Performance", "Stocks Portfolio" etc.)

Thresholds Alerts

Define minimum and maximum thresholds to trigger visual and audible alerts so you can react to important events in real-time. You can even have alerts sent to you via E-Mail.

And More...

Configure your dashboard to take automatic snapshots of your gauges and upload the image files using FTP. Log gauge measurements for your next staff meeting or to send via e-mail to your colleagues using your personal dashboard log. Color-code your gauges and use auto-hide to seamlessly integrate the dashboard with your working environment.

Web Page Sensors

Web Page Sensors collect numerical values from your enterprise web portals, web applications or from the World-Wide-Web and transmit these values directly to your dashboard. Intelligent scraping algorithms will ensure the data can be collected, even if the page is changing over time. Defining web page sensor takes only a few minutes and is performed by pointing & clicking in the Console.

Database Sensors

Database Sensors sample performance information stored in relational databases using user-defined SQL statements. The following OLE-DB and ODBC providers are supported:

Oracle SQL Server

MySQL Access

Excel

Asynchronous Sensors

Asynchronous Sensors listen for incoming performance updates from any enterprise application, message bus or service bus. Numerical information can be sent to the Business Gauges Service asynchronous gateway using a simple HTTP GET request. The Business Gauges Console automatically generates the glue code (in Java, C#, VB.NET, Perl and Python) so all that is left to do is just copy and paste.

Scripted Sensors

Scripted Sensors execute user-defined Python® script to sample any numerical value from any data source accessible using a script. Remote or local log files, FTP sites, web services or command line processes as well as other various sources of information can be used to collect numerical values and transmit this information to the user dashboards.

Security and Data Safety

No effort has been spared by our development team to ensure maximum data safety and security in Business Gauges. Data files, sensor modules and data-feed blocks are encrypted using an industry standard 128-bit encryption. A permissions system gives the administrator full control over which users or groups of users can see each gauge, helping to keep access to data appropriate to the management environment. Business Gauges also has a built-in service logger, registering important user and system events for reference and auditing.

Lean & Mean

Business Gauges introduces an extremely efficient integration into your existing hardware, drastically reducing your outlay costs. We believe there is no reason why enterprise software should be any different than consumer software so we developed Business Gauges to run on any computer capable of running Windows XP and up. Further more, Business Gauges does not require 3rd party application server licenses. With a single Business Gauges Service instance installed, it can be used by up to 256 concurrent dashboard connections.

Sensors Workshop

Defining and configuring new sensors takes only a few minutes with Business Gauges Console easy-to-use form-based sensors workshop. Choose a sensor type you want to define and the new sensor is automatically created in the Business Gauges Service. Configuring, testing and publishing the sensor can also be easily accomplished, all within a single and unified administrative environment.

User Management

Business Gauges Console user management features provide a complete authorization and authentication solution. Privileged administrators can define new users, assign system permissions and control sensor access partitioning using the a simple, form-based user interface.
