Read the top 10 reasons for selecting InetSoft as your BI partner.

Real Time Web Based Data Access

InetSoft's data intelligence can easily connect to any in-cloud data sources for both in-cloud and on-premises deployment. Salesforce, Facebook and Google Analytics are just a few examples. With its many data connectors, Style Intelligence is an excellent choice for in-cloud business intelligence.

InetSoft offers a dashboard web application in a zero-client, 100% web-based environment. A web-based dashboard app allows for ease of use and maximum-self service without having to rely on the IT department. Any user with a basic understanding of Excel can easily deploy pixel-perfect dashboards in just a few simple clicks.

Using a web-based dashboard application offers many advantages to the user, including the ability to access the most up-to-date data at any time. With data constantly changing, data even a few hours old can be out of date, and waiting on IT for complicated updates causes unnecessary delays in accomplishing tasks. This means that dashboard cloud apps must offer more self-service for users. As business demands increase, users can't wait for IT to make changes in data sources or wait for IT to adjust the dashboards to present new types of data or to use data in a different way.

Cloud Host Dashboards With Amazon Web Services

As an option, InetSoft offers a pre-configured AWS instance with data intelligence tools to give you a supercharged data transformation and data mashup platform for interactive dashboarding, visual analytics, and production reporting.

Simply launch the instance and connect to your Amazon RDS, Redshift, MySQL, EMR and other data sources. Then, mashup and transform data on the fly, and build interactive, personalizable AWS dashboards, and visual analyses right inside a single web app.

What Are the Advantages of a Cloud-Hosted Dashboard Vs. an On-Premise Dashboard?

Cloud-hosted dashboards and on-premise dashboards each offer distinct advantages, and the choice between them depends on various factors such as organizational needs, resources, and preferences. Below are some advantages of a cloud-hosted dashboard compared to an on-premise dashboard:

  1. Accessibility and Scalability:
    • Cloud-hosted dashboards are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, allowing users to view and interact with data remotely, which is especially beneficial for distributed teams or remote work environments.
    • Cloud platforms offer scalability, allowing organizations to easily scale up or down their dashboard infrastructure based on changing needs without the need for significant upfront investments in hardware or software.
  2. Reduced IT Infrastructure and Maintenance Costs:
    • Cloud-hosted dashboards eliminate the need for organizations to invest in and maintain on-premise hardware, servers, and infrastructure, resulting in lower upfront capital expenditures and reduced ongoing maintenance costs.
    • Cloud service providers handle infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, and security patches, freeing up IT resources and allowing organizations to focus on core business activities rather than IT infrastructure management.
  3. Rapid Deployment and Time to Value:
    • Cloud-hosted dashboards can be deployed quickly and easily, often within minutes or hours, compared to the longer lead times required for procuring, configuring, and deploying on-premise hardware and software.
    • Rapid deployment enables organizations to realize value from their dashboard investments more quickly, accelerating time to insight and enabling faster decision-making based on real-time data.
  4. Enhanced Security and Data Protection:
    • Cloud service providers invest heavily in robust security measures, including encryption, access controls, intrusion detection, and data backup and recovery, to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
    • Cloud-hosted dashboards often benefit from enterprise-grade security features and certifications, providing organizations with greater confidence in the security and integrity of their data compared to on-premise solutions that may have limited security capabilities.
  5. Automatic Software Updates and Feature Enhancements:
    • Cloud-hosted dashboard solutions typically receive automatic software updates and feature enhancements from the cloud service provider, ensuring that organizations always have access to the latest features, functionalities, and security patches without the need for manual intervention.
    • Automatic updates help organizations stay current with technology advancements and industry best practices, enabling them to leverage new capabilities and optimize their dashboard performance and usability over time.
