A new set of easy to use data visualization and analysis tools for SharePoint

Built with full integration in mind
DataParts is fully compatible with Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), and DataParts Web Parts have been integrated as native SharePoint web parts. IT staff can customize DataParts Web Parts to meet the specific needs of individuals in the organization without intervention from a developer. DataParts Web Parts have been exclusively architected with SharePoint integration and use in mind and the consolidation of personal, team, corporate, and external information with a single-click customization approach.
Unlike other products that wrap ASP.NET controls for Visual Studio, each Web Part inside DataParts has been carefully built with SharePoint integration model in mind, as soon as you drop a DataParts Web Part in your SharePoint site, you should expect to become quickly proficient and productive with it, without the need to learn developer APIs (Application Programming Interface) or face complex integration issues normally faced with web parts that have been retrofitted from developer based products.
Make sense of your data
DataParts can draw information from multiple data sources and formats, combining complex information into a single SharePoint portal. DataParts provide a simple way for users to create complex query filters and data visualization scenarios to deliver specific views of data, enabling any SharePoint user to develop personalized role-based dashboards that meet individual, specific decision-making needs.
Easily customize your DataParts through the Tool Pane Wizard
DataParts lets users insert, modify and personalize any DataParts control's user interface (UI) directly from SharePoint's Tools Pane via a Tool Pane Wizard Technology where users can edit the appearance, layout, behavior, and other properties of the visible DataParts Web Parts intuitively and without a single line of code.
Intuitive, easy to use Web Parts
DataParts Web Parts have been carefully crafted with solid designs and user interfaces that conform to SharePoint standards. The secret to each DataParts control is the flexibility and simplicity of motifs, a set of complex visuals associated to each control like colors, user interface looks and interactions with other Web Parts in your SharePoint site, enabling users to automatically correspond to a highly professional corporate look and feel while preserving the usability of DataParts Web Parts.
Responsive user interfaces through the use of AJAX
DataParts Web Parts provide a fully AJAX-compatible engine allowing you to quickly create pages with sophisticated, responsive user interfaces and more efficient client-server communication. DataParts Web Parts simply become "updatable" regions of your SharePoint site with asynchronous server roundtrips. In addition, each DataParts control provides a beautifully designed and customizable AJAX interface that lets users sort, filter and analyze data without requiring .NET or ActiveX controls on your SharePoint site.
Browser independent HTML for easy deployment
DataParts conforms to SharePoint server architecture by creating browser independent HTML renderings from the results returned by the server, enabling users to universally view and interact with the resulting dashboard in a Web browser with minimal configuration and installation complexities.
Unlike SharePoint Dashboard support via Microsoft Office components that are designed with Client use in mind, DataParts is a truly web based and thin client solution that will help you reduce training, deployment and maintenance costs on your SharePoint implementation.
