Chapter 11

While the Digital Dashboard is an exciting concept, it's also very confusing. Your ideas about how to use a Digital Dashboard probably differ from mine, and my ideas will likely differ from another person's ideas, and so on. If you look at a Digital Dashboard at its most rudimentary level, you will see a set of dynamic Web pages that consolidate personal, team, corporate, and Internet information into a single unit. The way you implement those dynamic Web pages and configure your Digital Dashboard are up to you.

In this chapter, we'll look at the different technologies that you can use to create a Digital Dashboard as well as some Digital Dashboard samples. I'll suggest ways you can integrate Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Outlook information, and business intelligence into your Digital Dashboard. After you've examined the ideas presented in this chapter, you'll be equipped to choose the best implementation for your Digital Dashboard.
