These days charts are not just lines, pies and stacked bars. To tell the story of our data, we have waterfalls, heat maps, gauges, scatter charts, tree maps, polar charts…..it’s a large list.

What we’re really excited about though is our recent addition to deskonline.cloud

 

We’ve been on a mission to bring a world class chart and dashboard solution into deskonline.cloud and we’ve done it.

 

Highcharts is now available as an app in your deskonline.cloud space!

 

A well curated set of charts is a great way to create a visual story of your project or business.  This shows progress across KPI’s and planned business outcomes in a quick and easy to understand format; a really valuable tool for efficient and fact based decision making forums.
