A New Look at Xcelsius Customer Success Stories and Partner Plug-ins Centigon Solutions as a recognized thought leader in add-on solutions for Xcelsius was asked to highlight and share customer experiences with the Xcelsius ecosystem of partners and customers who leverage add-on solutions. Highlighted in the video is Centigon Solutions GMaps Plugin explained by Centigon Solutions founder, Ryan Goodman.
SAP TV: Win a Breeze with SAP BusinessObjects SAP TV provided additional coverage of a SAP 505 World Championship dashboard created by Centigon Solutions and powered by GMapsPlugin for Xcelsius. A collaborative effort between multiple vendors drove the development of a powerful mash-up of real-time race data presented within a Google Map. The integration of GMaps Plugin was critical to displaying real-time analysis of course conditions, (wind, current, and race marks) boat positions, and laylines for planning race strategy, all visualized within GMapsPlugin.
What Customers and Consultants are Saying About Centigon Solutions:
"As a SME in both Excel and Xcelsius, who used Xcelsius from day one, I was truly skeptical whether the Centigon Solutions Essentials Plugins Bundle could benefit me. However, after using the Plugins on a projectfor SAP, I became officially hooked. Simply put, these plugins are about scalability and nitrous which increase Xcelsius’ internal combustion engine's power. They have become my secret sauce which enable me while cooking with Xcelsius to imagine more, think bigger, and scale up to an extent not previously possible. My personal favorites are Filter Summary and Dynamic Sort; which together offer a one-two punch to knock down many a villain. In my opinion, no Xcelsius user –whether novice or expert- should be without them. I also am a great fan of the newly released CSV Connector as it greatly simplifies Xcelsius connectivity and makes it available to the masses. Great job; and keep ‘em coming."

"GMaps Plugin is the only customizable Maps plugin that I use for Xcelsius dashboards. With the introduction of Shape Files integration from version 2.0, the GMaps Plugin has broadened my palette to create anything my customers have demanded down to the finest grain."
"These components are well thought through and easy to use. The practical approach to extending the capability and palette of Xcelsius 2008 is well needed and Centigon is onto something. These components are a real time money saver.
"I used the Gmaps Plugin for my Monster-sighting dashboard in the Reportapalooza Expert Challenge, and it really added that something special to my entry. The ability to natively translate all sorts of location data (full addresses, city/state, coordinates) made it a perfect solution to inconsistent user-submitted data, and the available customizable properties meant that I could easily call out specific data points while still showing all of them."

"The GMaps Plugin by Centigon Solutions is the perfect addition to any Xcelsius project containing geographic information. I used the GMaps Plugin to chart community bands and orchestras across the U.S. in the first Reportapalooza challenge and found the tool to be very flexible, attractive, and easy to use. The GMaps Plugin is the gold standard for interactive mapping visualizations in Xcelsius"

"Centigon Solutions' plug-ins are an essential addition to Xcelsius Engage 2008. They deliver a rich feature set directly into your workspace. While the Background Builder helps to build layered dashboards; the data tools (Dynamic Sort, Filtered Summary and Reverse Selector) give developers powerful tools to implement complex logic, quickly and easily. The supporting documentation and examples are clearly laid out and are complemented with first class email support."
