Dash

I haven't blogged here in a while because I'm not working directly for  dashboard company anymore and I'm in the process of moving to a personal blog, but since I still have this site, I thought I'd mention a cool product I saw a demo of tonight.  It's called Dash from Five Runs in Austin.  Out of the box, it's a really nice tool for instrumenting your Ruby on Rails applications but they've made it extensible and language-agnostic so that other languages can work seamlessly.  Even more, they plan to allow you to use their product as a source to store metrics so you can access them and display them any way you want.  For example, you could upload supply chain events (order received, order shipped, etc) and use their tool to overlay graphs to show differences between DCs or correlations that might help with analyzing problems.

They're in private beta right now, but check out their site and request a beta key if you're interested.
