We’ll thank them not by pleasant words but by new product features which are planed after the full release, such as Drilldown implementation, bookmarks rendering, additional pagination modes, and new samples. The work on this functionality has already been started.” These words are worth to be trusted.

Perpetuum Software LLC — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The fact that Microsoft is the monopolist of the software market is incontrovertible. But no one is perfect…

Microsoft has two powerful technologies: MS SQL Reporting Services that is the world recognized industry standard of report generators, and the Silverlight, a relatively new, but extremely promising technology for BI, that acquires hundreds of fans literally with every breath we make.

Silverlight promises to be the ? 1 platform for BI applications creation due to the fact that it not only combines all the best of desktop applications and the convenience of web apps deployment, but delivers absolutely new developer and user experience.

So, now, let’s make a string of logic: Reporting is essential part of BI apps – MS Reporting Services is industry standard reporting tool – Silverlight is the positively inevitable future of BI apps.

Alliance of these two technologies obviously makes sense, doesn’t it?

Perpetuum Software LLC bridges this technological gap and announces the availability of Silverlight Viewer for Reporting Services, a software product allowing design of corporate reporting systems with your favorite reporting tool and their integration into Silverlight applications.

Various preview and zooming modes, scrolling, interactive sorting, panning, navigation through the reports via hyperlinks, input of the report parameters, search are available. The whole set of advantages used as a rule, in the original desktop applications are now at your disposal. Delicate setup of viewer appearance is possible with the use of pre-designed as well as of custom styles and templates. All aspects of the Silverlight Viewer component behavior can be controlled from the code. Reports can be exported to the most popular formats: PDF, Excel, Html, Cvs, Xml, Mhtml and TIFF.

The current version of the product supports SQL Reporting Services 2005. The support for MS SQL Reporting Services 2008 will be available in the next release.

Chart you pivot table data to quickly make your business decisions!

Perpetuum Software LLC — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT

The use of OLAP technology in information processing has considerably facilitated data management and control. But along with such advantages as accuracy and quality of analysis there are some disadvantages. The managers, who analyze the tables with a great number of columns and rows, spend a lot of time to obtain information needed for decision-making from a great set of numbers.

Perpetuum Software LLC offers a package of components for graphical OLAP data representation: OLAP + CHART ModelKit™. The package includes a flexible OLAP component for multidimensional data analysis – OLAP ModelKit™; and a component for creation of feature-rich charts and graphs – Chart ModelKit™.

OLAP ModelKit™ allows the representation of the information as interactive pivot table enabling the arbitrary table data manipulation. The rows and columns of such interactive table are based on the data taken from several columns of an initial table or another .Net data source (including ADO.NET, IList and IListSource). Thus, reports, created with OLAP ModelKit™, provide the full scale representation of multidimensional data, its processing and examination from different viewpoints (so-called “slice and dice”).

But sometimes the important decision should be taken almost immediately and a great amount of numbers may slow down this process. That’s why visualization of information in the form of charts and graphs considerably facilitates data processing. Chart ModelKit™ provides a set of 2D charts which allow the realization of graphical data representation ability. A product library includes a wide range of standard elements: axes, labels, legends, titles etc and a set of available series types: Pie, Bar, Stacked Bar, Stacked100Bar, Spline, Line, Bubble, Area, Stacked Area, Stacked100Area, Stock, Candle Stick.

The use of the OLAP + CHART ModelKit™ package allows the charting of multidimensional data in an understandable manner. The pack of components represents a unified development framework with similar design-time and runtime customization facilities. You won’t need deep knowledge in programming to tightly integrate OLAP ModelKit with Chart ModelKit™. Just place Chart Viewer on the form the DataCubeGrid is located on, few mouse clicks and data is represented as dynamical charts and diagrams.

Facilitate the process of decision making relying on the graphically presented results of analysis!

Download OLAP + CHART ModelKit™ which is specially developed to visualize data processing results.

Develop intelligent dashboards with the .NET Dashboard Suite 3.0

Perpetuum Software LLC — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Effective dashboard is a powerful channel for information acquisition and comprehension. But its design is a strong challenge for developers. As a rule, such dashboards should display a great deal of miscellaneous information within a limited space, so they can easily become cluttered and confusing for a user. How to develop a dashboard that can grab expert’s attention, provide the information in a way that actually makes sense and brings information alive for people. It is a very complicated task, isn’t it?

Perpetuum Software LLC, a global software vendor, represents a new version 3.0 of the .NET Dashboard Suite, a powerful medium of visual communication of data allowing the design of the most advanced digital dashboards for Windows Forms apps.

“Now, to develop an adequate dashboard or any other data visualization application, you don’t need to look for separate components from different vendors, and solve the problem of their compatibility. We developed a pack of fully compatible components with ample capabilities for general and specific data visualization,” says Kate Mokhoff, a head of Perpetuum Software sales department about the new version release.

One of the main benefits of the dashboards use is the ability to display data in various forms. The .NET Dashboard Suite provides the complete set of data visualization tools: high-resolution ready-made gauges, charts, graphs, diagrams and much more. Moreover, an intuitive designer of the product allows the creation of non-standard controls on the base of the existing ones as well as their design from scratch. And this new version of the .NET Dashboard Suite makes this process very simple, fast, and intuitive due to the improved designer; some properties are available not only in the property grid but also from the designer toolbar.

Particular visual analysis features are not only useful but essential for each data visualization tool. The unique architecture of the product provides an ability to combine objects arbitrarily, allowing the creation of controls configurations that are difficult or impossible to build using other approaches. So, you can create even the most complicated dynamic and interactive dashboards to monitor and analyze your critical data.

During the application creation process it is very hard to predict all the needs and requirements of the target user. The .NET Dashboard Suite gives developers a free hand over the dashboard customization: from the appearance to the behavior of the controls.

The .Net Dashboard Suite lets you monitor your business performance using highly visual gauges and charts on your desktop. It is agile and easy-to-use software, allowing any company or organization, of any level, to gain the competitive advantage of using real-time business dashboard software.

Pure .NET 2.0 data visualization component for professional developers.

Perpetuum Software LLC — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Just imagine that you speed along the autobahn and realize that there is no a control panel – you don’t know a fuel level, speed – anything… “It is impossible”, you may say. And now imagine, your business is a car and you drive that car without a control panel, and you don’t see the key performance indicators which are vital to “drive” your business. It’s just a nightmare!

Similarly to the control panel in a car which helps you to get to destination, an effective digital dashboard helps you make mission critical decisions on the basis of well-structured visually presented information.

With the release of the Instrumentation ModelKit™ 3.0 the creation of digital dashboards, KPI, scorecards, and other data visualization applications becomes much easier.

Developed for Other Developers
The Instrumentation ModelKit™ is designed not only to serve as a rich library of ready-made controls: the delivery package includes 80+ instruments. It allows developers to build custom gauges even without the need to code. An intuitive designer makes the process of gauges creation and adjustment a brief! It is very important for a developer to have control over the created instrument. Assign custom style, behavior and appearance to the instrument with a few mouse clicks!

Changes for Improvement
Contemporary technology is aimed at the application development streamlining. Trying to follow the newest technology trends we created version 3.0 of the Instrumentation ModelKit™ that is specially redesigned for .NET 2.0 and supports the whole .NET 2.0 functionality. We modified the designer. Now the properties are available not only in the property grid but also from the designer toolbar. Fill editor can also be invoked by clicking an appropriate button. Improved visual interface of the designer ensures an automatic layout of the localized interface elements. These new features considerably speed up the process of gauges design.

We Do It for You
We want to help developers be as productive as possible.
To make the process of application development convenient we made it possible to change instruments appearance and behavior with a few mouse clicks. Modify, customize and adjust controls according to your demands!
To make the process of the product exploration fast we designed the unified sample browser which provides a set of comprehensive examples demonstrating the required functionality of controls.
To make the process of complex gauges development simple we included such high-level elements as RangedLevel, LinearLevel, Tank, etc.
To help you create visually stunning applications we developed a great number of features to make controls realistic: support for 3D skins, double buffering, ability to set interactive behavior to the controls, and GDI+ capabilities for elements drawing.
To make you save your money we pursue flexible licensing policy and allow you to distribute your applications with the use of the Instrumentation ModelKit™ components without any additional charges.
To give you full control over your applications we offer Professional edition of the product which contains full source code.
