It is true, but you should have "bottom-up" approach, starting with the KPIs you want to put to Dashboard to be available for executives.
I build a few dashboards using PerformancePoint 2010 and customers were quite happy versus using custom solution that usually hard to modify and hard to integrate with SharePoint data after it was deployed What kind of information do you have that you want to put into Dashboard, and what is your requirements for Dashboard? Can you please elaborate it?

Dashboarding toolkits for Sharepoint I've noticed PerformancePoint. Problem is, each vendor thinks their particular sliced bread is better than what comes in the box. I'm wondering if that is actually true in some cases.

Dashboarding toolkits for Sharepoint We're beginning to see a number of marketing emails from various Sharepoint dashboarding toolkit suppliers arrive in various inboxes around our organisation. I would be interested in investigating some of these, but obviously would be interested more in something that works well for a competent .NET dev team, accustomed to source code control and quality, rather than something that happens to appeal to the manager of marketing. Can anyone recommend a particular toolset for this, so I can head off the oncoming hordes? (We run Sharepoint 2010, if that makes any difference.)
