A new set of easy to use data visualization and analysis tools for SharePoint
DataParts includes a full set of building blocks that enable you to quickly develop
and maintain dashboards with SharePoint that include dynamic, interactive data visualization
and analysis capabilities, such as drill-down, filter, and sort through ready-to-use
Web Parts including, but not limited to charts,
gauges, maps,
card view lists,
hierarchical lists, columnar lists,
and much more.
Built with full integration in mind
DataParts is fully compatible with Windows SharePoint
Services (WSS) and Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), and DataParts Web
Parts have been integrated as native SharePoint web parts. IT staff can customize
DataParts Web Parts to meet the specific needs of individuals in the organization
without intervention from a developer. DataParts Web Parts have been exclusively
architected with SharePoint integration and use in mind and the consolidation of
personal, team, corporate, and external information with a single-click customization
approach.
Unlike other products that wrap ASP.NET controls for Visual Studio, each Web Part
inside DataParts has been carefully built with SharePoint integration model in mind,
as soon as you drop a DataParts Web Part in your SharePoint site, you should expect
to become quickly proficient and productive with it, without the need to learn developer
APIs (Application Programming Interface) or face complex integration issues normally
faced with web parts that have been retrofitted from developer-based products.
Make sense of your data
DataParts can draw information from multiple data sources and formats, combining
complex information into a single SharePoint portal. DataParts provide a simple
way for users to create complex query filters and data visualization scenarios to
deliver specific views of data, enabling any SharePoint user to develop personalized
role-based dashboards that meet individual, specific decision-making needs.
Easily customize your DataParts through the Tool Pane Wizard
DataParts lets users insert, modify and personalize any DataParts control's user
interface (UI) directly from SharePoint's Tools Pane via a Tool Pane Wizard Technology
where users can edit the appearance, layout, behavior, and other properties of the
visible DataParts Web Parts intuitively and without a single line of code.
Intuitive, easy to use Web Parts
DataParts Web Parts have been carefully crafted with solid designs and user interfaces
that conform to SharePoint standards. The secret to each DataParts control is the
flexibility and simplicity of motifs, a set of complex visuals associated to each
control like colors, user interface looks and interactions with other Web Parts
in your SharePoint site, enabling users to automatically correspond to a highly
professional corporate look and feel while preserving the usability of DataParts
Web Parts.
Responsive user interfaces through the use of AJAX
DataParts Web Parts provide a fully AJAX-compatible engine allowing you to quickly
create pages with sophisticated, responsive user interfaces and more efficient client-server
communication. DataParts Web Parts simply become "updatable" regions of
your SharePoint site with asynchronous server roundtrips. In addition, each DataParts
control provides a beautifully designed and customizable AJAX interface that lets
users sort, filter and analyze data without requiring .NET or ActiveX controls on
your SharePoint site.
Browser independent HTML for easy deployment
DataParts conforms to SharePoint server architecture by creating browser independent
HTML renderings from the results returned by the server, enabling users to universally
view and interact with the resulting dashboard in a Web browser with minimal configuration
and installation complexities.
Unlike SharePoint Dashboard support via Microsoft Office components that are designed
with Client use in mind, DataParts is a truly web based and thin client solution
that will help you reduce training, deployment and maintenance costs on your SharePoint
implementation.
Built on award-winning technology
DataParts Web Parts are based on award winning and industry leading proven technology
found in products like Chart FX, Grid FX and PowerGadgets that have been deployed
by thousands of organizations worldwide and accessed by millions of end users in
many different leading software products from a multitude of vendors and enterprise
developers who use our technology to build software for many leading platforms such
as ASP.NET, Windows Forms, Silverlight, WPF, COM and Java.

Web Parts currently under development. As new additional web parts are available,
