Sorry for the late notice, but I wanted to be sure to invite you to a webinar that is being hosted by Ryan Goodman and I on Monday (08/16/10) entitled ‘Dashboard Xtreme Makeover’.  I was not going to blog about this, but now that we’ve finalized the content I was so excited I had to give you a sneak peek. It’s the ‘never before seen stuff’ that Gurus do.

Webinar History  – In 2008 Ryan hosted Part I of this same series. Due its popularity it was voted as the overall #2 webinar by the BusinessObjects community. For Part 2 we wanted to present a simple process that can be used by just about anyone.

The results? For the first time ever we are going to present a ‘5 Step Process to Design or Re-design your Dashboards’.  Note, we did not say GUIDELINES but an actual easy to follow PROCESS.  Below are the high level steps. You’ll have to attend for more details! See you there.

• Step 1: Choose Layout Template (we provide up to 50 layouts!)
• Step 2: Choose Data Visualizations (which chart, where?)
• Step 3: Perform Cosmetic Surgery
• Step 4:  Solicit User Feedback
• Step 5:  Quality Checklist (Final Considerations)

NOTE: You must be an ASUG registered member to attend (remember all former GBN customers can join ASUG for free for a limitd time).  You must login to ASUG.com first. Click here to register.

If you are following us on Twitter or in our Linkedin.com group this is old news, but Ryan Goodman and myself have teamed up again to deliver another dynamic webinar!  For those who are unaware our first webinar together last year, THANKS TO YOU, it was rated #1 in 2008 in attendance.

Today, May 20th at 10am PST / 1pm EST,  we are doing the first of a 2 part series, this time strictly on connecting Xcelsius to the ‘BOE Live Data’ sources.  We will be covering,  how and when to use Live Office vs Query as a Web Service, and Ryan will touch on some of the new and old integration points in BOE with Xcelsius and Dashboard builder.

If you are in the BOE reporting world and has ever 1) connected an Xcelsius dashboard to Live Office or Query as a Web Service OR 2) you are considering doing so but don’t know where  to start or what’s the difference then this is for you. 

FYI – we literally spent hours generating fresh material to ensure everything is up to date. This is not a PPT remake and we have never presented this material before. The recommendations provided are rock solid and based on years of experience.

Enough said… Join us at 10am PST / 1pm EST and do invite anyone who may benefit.  There is a 15 minute Q&A with Ryan and myself at the end.

Sing up here now! It starts very soon.

We’ll see you there!
