IBM Workplace Dashboard Framework Absorbs WebCharts3D

GreenPoint, provider of enterprise-wide visualization solutions for distributed web applications, has announced that its WebCharts3D Enterprise Edition will be used as the charting and graphing engine for IBM Workplace Dashboard Framework. IBM’s Workplace Dashboard Framework delivers reusable service-oriented components, robust administration tools, and dashboard-specific features that speed the creation of standards-based, active dashboards.

WebCharts3D, on the other hand, enables the creation of professional-quality, server-generated interactive charts that communicate information in a readily understood format. Based on XML standards, the product supports multiple formats including animated Flash, SVG, PDF, PNG, JPEG and GIF. With WebCharts3D, Workplace Dashboard Framework users can work with complex charts and graphs of any sort, analyze trends via dynamic visualizations of critical business data, and drill down into the data for more information.

"We are very pleased that WebCharts3D has been integrated with the dashboard framework solution," said Howard Stein, VP of Sales and Marketing at GreenPoint. "Our product is designed to aid decision-making in business through highly and easily configurable charts and interactive graphic representations of data. This makes IBM’s Workplace Dashboard Framework an ideal fit for WebCharts3D."
