I think the google api could be a good example of how we might build our own. Hell something like that could be its own project, a drop-in servlet that provides the same chart rendering functionality as google's servers.
But ultimately google provides these services in order to gain access to your data and to your users, and that isn't really something you want to provide from an ERP application. In addition most of the google APIs are only available free of charge when used in a publicly accessible website which is why I'm not entirely comfortable having the google maps API used on the backend.
