\nI just presented the keynote at an SAP BusinessObjects conference in Istanbul, Turkey<\/a>. Audience feedback was very positive, with the only complaint being the relative lack of local expert resources in some of the BusinessObjects products (although we’ve done a lot of training, there’s a huge new set of product available and demand has\u00a0been high).<\/p>\n

SAP customer presentations included Turkish Telecom and their Governance, Risk, and Compliance implementation and a local hospital’s implementation of BusinessObjects Edge Professional.<\/p>\n

Here’s the custom Xcelsius dashboard (click anywhere on the picture to take off the cover, then click “unlock” to use the controls):<\/p>\n

[update\/disclaimer: this post generated some interest, so there’s one thing I should make clearer: the intent of this dashboard was to provide light relief in the presentation, using local data. It absolutely does not<\/em> represent\u00a0best practice dashboard design. For that, I recommend the excellent books by Wayne Eckerson <\/a>\u00a0for discussions about whether it is appropriate for vendors to show this type of eye-candy]<\/p>\n
