Jedox CEO Kristian Raue about Palo Open-Source Business Intelligence
We recently launched a new Palo website that is especially designed to attract Excel users to Palo. While our main website www.jedox.com continues to be the primary source of information about Jedox and Palo, www.palo.net is something like a 60 seconds elevator pitch about Palo for Excel. The website is targeting the technically oriented Excel power user. Feel free to forward the link to www.palo.net to any Excel power user in your network.
Palo Web 3.1 contains a lot of new features. Even if the final version of Palo Web 3.1 will not be published before the end of March, I would like to draw your attention to some of the features. In this post I will show the new ribbon elements as an optional replacement for the “old school” toolbar/menu bar. They are part of Palo Web 3.1, to see them now you have to download Palo Suite 3.1 Ramp up version on www.jedox.com.
The ribbon user interface was made popular with the release of MS Office 2007. It was developed with intention to increase productivity by better organising features into sets that are easier accessible and more often used. Benefits of the ribbon elements are somewhat controversial though – they are actually matter of taste – they are evolving a long tradition of menu/toolbar driven user interfaces. Therefore, unlike in MS Office, users in Palo Web can switch easily between the two interfaces (Options/Spreadsheet/Toolbar) and use the one they like the most: the classic menu with a toolbar or the new ribbon.
In the following screenshots you can see a selection of the ribbons you find in Palo Web.
