Olympic Results Tracking by iDashboard

if you haven’t heard of iDashboard, you’ve probably seen their dashboards at many other applications.

I discussed the importance of reporting and live data analysis for Call Centers and Service Desks.

Now iDashboard has another Olympic gift for you:

Beijing Olympic Real Time Updates



iDashboards is a leader and innovator in the field of enterprise dashboard software as well as one of the fastest growing companies in business intelligence. In addition, iDashboards has been awarded several patents in the space of data visualization for dashboards.

Why I like iDashboard:

1) Flash based (not Microsoft Silverlight) and browser independent (i.e. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
2) Platform independence (i.e. Windows or Linux servers)
3) Data retrieval from multiple databases - which is important since it’s pulling data from several venues
4) Seamless reporting features with Microsoft Excel. After all, the decision maker CFO signs the check, right?

With the results aggregated and displayed in dashboards each day, you can track their favorite athletes, countries and events.

The dashboard’s unique hover-and-click capabilities enable fans to select each country’s individual results by sporting event and individual athlete performance.

Additionally, Olympic sports icons direct users to the official Beijing Games Website providing live updates on the respective events.

To get a sample of what if feels like, you can capture and analyze the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

The summer olympic games are here!

From it’s origins with the Greeks, The Olympics have evolved into a unifying global collaboration. It is such a great time to learn about other countries, watch hardened athletes give it their all and have a sense of national pride.

Here is the current medal count. It is interesting that so many athletes compete, knowing that most will not place. Typically, the home country has an advantage, we will see how China fares.
