DSPanel Launches Game-Changing Cloud Business Intelligence, Financial Consolidation and Reporting Solutions, Canvas Online

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Dec. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DSPanel today announced the availability of the latest addition to Performance Canvas Studio SaaS product group, Canvas Online. Canvas Online means mid-market organizations that have shied away from deploying cloud business intelligence, reporting or financial consolidation solution because of concerns over cost, complexity or maintenance issues, will now have access to cutting edge visualizations, reporting, forecasting, budgeting, consolidation and analytics tools without worrying about security, usability or having to move to a cloud based data warehouse.

Canvas Online is also the only cloud business intelligence solution which enables users, with the push of a button, to access their dashboards, reports, and analytics right in their iPads, iPhones, Android, Blackberry or Windows 7 mobile devices, giving cloud users the same access to the capabilities that were lauded in Gartner's "Who's Who in Mobile BI" report.

Canvas Online is a natively multitenant environment that has been designed to work as a standalone or embedded SaaS solution.  Integration can be done through SQL Analysis Services, through Excel or through a web services client. The cloud business intelligence platform enables both customers and partners alike to quickly set up instances of databases to serve multiple client organizations and allows an unlimited number of users to access the same information, without reduced performance. Organizations also have the option to set up their environment wholly in the cloud or a combination deployment combining on-site and cloud based functionality.

"While cloud-business intelligence is not a new concept, Canvas Online is unique in it enables organizations to quickly deploy business intelligence cross-departmentally and cross functionally, enabling all employees to use insights to make better decisions," explains DSPanel CTO Niklas Derouche. "Further, Canvas Online works on the same platform of Performance Canvas Studio giving users the same SaaS self-service, drag-and-drop functionality that enterprise organizations have enjoyed."

Canvas Online works on Performance Canvas Studio technology. The same extensible, flexible browser based SaaS self-service product that enables users to drag-and-drop visualizations and design reports in an agile WYSIWYG environment without needing to know complex query languages such as MDX. Enabling Performance Canvas technology in the cloud cuts down on deployment and integration costs and enables more users to access decision critical cloud business intelligence data, financial departments to speed up their financial closes and allow users create and share dynamic reports.
