ABSTRACT

Building on its heritage in data  visualization, Dundas launched Dundas BI in 2014. The product is a BI platform  that enables analysts and developers to build and embed custom analytics  applications and interfaces using a rich set of application programming interfaces (APIs). Granular multi-tenant security and licensing controls enable  customers to embed analytics into multi-tenant cloud applications or monetize  their custom analytics solutions. 

Founded in 1991, Toronto, Ontario–based Dundas Data Visualization pioneered its charting and graphing components with Dundas Charts for .NET. Building on this foundation, it shipped Dundas Dashboards in 2010, followed by a full-fledged BI platform called Dundas BI in 2014.  Today, more than one-third of Dundas customers embed the product into other on-premises or software-as-a-service (SaaS) commercial software; some do both.

Dundas BI exposes its analysis and administrative interface functionality via APIs, making it easy for customers to create and embed persona-specific analytics experiences and deploy them as multi-tenant cloud applications. Developers can also configure elements and inject custom JavaScript into custom dashboards via the standard Web interface (see figure 1).  Developers also have the option to deploy a discovery-oriented visualization canvas for self-service users.

A rich set of visualizations ship with Dundas BI, but the company also supports third-party libraries such as D3.js so customers can tailor visualizations to meet very specific business requirements. Developers can also customize data integration, calculation, and navigation functions through Dundas APIs, as well as manage tenant-specific security (see figure 2), access, scaling, and deployment across large user communities.
