    Live Dashboard Demos Come to New England


    view sample dashboards
    What if you could easily view up-to-the-minute business information and analyze multiple business scenarios? What if you could present your analytics within your PowerPoint slides, Adobe PDF documents, and over the Web, or share them shared across the enterprise in a scalable, secure environment?

    Interactive dashboards are the answer. Come see them in action! Business Objects and Golden Consulting will be presenting a live demo seminar at two New England locations:
      » Bloomfield, CT on October 30 (Wear a Halloween costume!)
      » Andover, MA on November 13

    Watch how dashboards transform dry spreadsheets into visually-appealing charts and graphs—the sort of information you and your colleagues can easily manipulate, share, and discuss.

    Life At Golden: A Fall Reservoir Walk

    On Friday, October 10, the Golden team gathered at West Hartford's Reservoir #6 for a "company walk" amid the beautiful New England fall foliage.

    After some good conversation, striking views of the city of Hartford, and nearly 4 miles of heart-pumping exercise, your BI team emerged ready to take on Q4 and help your organization finish 2009 strong!
