Products
Dundas originally developed a suite of .NET-based data visualization components, including Dundas Chart, Dundas Gauge, and Dundas Map, for both ASP.NET and Windows Forms applications. These tools allowed developers to embed advanced charting, gauge, and mapping functionality directly into software. The company later expanded to support SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and was among the first to offer custom visualization components for SharePoint.
In 2007, Microsoft acquired several of Dundas’s .NET components, incorporating them into the .NET Framework, SQL Server Reporting Services, and other Microsoft platforms.{{cite web |title=Chart Controls Released in .NET Framework 3.5 |url=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/blog/2008/11/11/chart-controls-released-in-net-framework-3-5/ |website=Microsoft |date=2008-11-11 |access-date=2025-03-28}} Dundas continued to operate independently and shifted its focus to end-to-end dashboard and BI solutions.
In 2008, the company released Dundas Dashboard, one of the first commercial applications built using Microsoft Silverlight. It provided a web-based platform for designing, managing, and deploying interactive dashboards and scorecards. Dundas Dashboard was officially retired in 2019.{{cite web |title=End of Life Notice for Dundas Dashboard |url=https://www.dundas.com/support/dashboard/docs/1.0/end-of-life |website=Dundas Support |access-date=2025-03-28}}
Following the deprecation of Silverlight, Dundas released Dundas BI in 2014, a browser-based, HTML5 business intelligence platform that provided self-service dashboards, ad hoc reporting, and data analytics.{{cite web |title=Dundas BI |url=https://www.dundas.com/products/dundas-bi |website=Dundas |access-date=2025-03-28}} Dundas BI was designed as a customizable and extensible platform aimed at both enterprise and embedded analytics use cases.
In 2022, Dundas was acquired by insightsoftware, and its technology was integrated into Logi Symphony, a unified embedded analytics platform launched in 2023 that also incorporates components from Logi Composer.{{cite web |title=Logi now insightSoftware’s unified embedded analytics suite |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchbusinessanalytics/news/366555337/Logi-now-InsightSoftwares-unified-embedded-analytics-suite |website=TechTarget |date=2023-10-11 |access-date=2025-03-28}}
