With the demise of Adobe’s Flash, will you send your SAP Dashboards users to Analytics Cloud or some other tool?

Right now I am looking at Lumira Designer to replace a couple of dashboards I created. For the most part I can replace the KPI’s. It is a near live dashboard with no user interaction. So finding a way to update the data without HANA or BW has been a challenge (Used Crystal Reports to produce an XML file that was FTPed to the website before). Found out I can use a timer and scripting to update the data. Runs fastest by using OpenDocument to log into the BI platform. I have developed some code to use RESTful services to autologin and open the document. Normally it would be a possible security risk, but I created a special user that can only ‘see’ the dashboard and it is summarized data, so even if the public gets to see it, it would not matter.
