digital dashboard

software A personalised desktop portal that focuses on

business intelligence and knowledge management.

Microsoft's version has a launch screen including stock

quotes, voice mail and e-mail messages, a calendar, a weather

forecast, traffic information, access to news feeds, customer

and sales data, and Internet conferences. A digital dashboard

might previously have been thought of as an executive

information system. In the future, digital dashboards could

be available on personal digital assistants and cellular

phones.
