This release represents a complete transformation in dashboard design capabilities, bringing PowerPoint-style visualization directly into your live, dynamic dashboards while maintaining real-time connections to your strategic data.

Power of PowerPoint, Intelligence of Live Data

The headline feature of Spider Impact 5.7 is our revolutionary new shape and line widgets for dashboards.
