I've seen lots of BI tools used for creating dashboards in Fortune 500s given that most of the data is secure in random databases, mainframes, etc - the most popular of late is QlikView.
As a BI tool QlikView is a different animal to what's being proposed here. QlikView is a fully interactive BI tool designed for use on the desktop. Dashboards like Leftronic are designed to show key metrics from all over the business to a wide audience either via a large screen or a secondary or tertiary display on the desktop. Once it's set up and operating users shouldn't need to interact with it a great deal other than glancing up to check on part of the screen they're interested in. Much like you would use the dashboard of your car when you're on the road.
