I am trying to develop a proposal for small biz executives to have access to dashboards for up to date financials.
This data can come from various regional/local offices, to be collected and analyzed at the parent/home office.

-- Viewing Dashboard/Reports

QUESTION What is best way to display these reports?

a) Third Party? b) Using Powerpoint? c) Create a front-end?

Interesting question. However, be warned that "5. Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it." - Patrick M

Depending on your database and how the "Parent office" stores the data I would seriously recommend using Rocket Software CorVu NG.

If you visit their page, there is a downloadable brochure for you to have a look at you can develop a professional real time dashboard. I currently use them and have produced really professional looking and acting dashboards.

you can also embed the dashboard into web services to give you that extra edge.

Hope the above helps.

If you want to do analysis of the data, then using Power Point is out of question, having said that, all depends of how much money and how much specificfy they want from the dashboards, if they want to spend little money, then you may want to look for a third party tool that's easy to use, like DBxtra, otherwise, creating your own front end may be the way to go.
