In spite of a lower penetration (11% in front of the 89% of Traditional BI), New BI, that reaps 100% of satisfied users, will be key in the spreading of advanced and predictive analytics within leading organizations.
The need of decision makers to start to perceive the business benefits resulting from putting advanced and predictive analytics into practice, together with users’ limitations in their daily analysis, predict the implementation, in the near future, of a New BI that will complement Traditional and predefined BI, which will be finally pushed to cover corporate reporting tasks.
This present and future scenario has been confirmed by the research Current and New BI, promoted by Quiterian from the results of a survey that was made to 355 professionals worldwide. The research can…

Jaspersoft is the company behind the famous and widespread JasterReports, an Open Source reporting solution preferred by most developers to embed in any Java application that requires a reporting system.
Jaspersoft
Jaspersoft has built its own B.I. solution around its reporting engine. It has done it in a way different from Pentaho. Jasper has integrated into its existing projects also settled and established solutions but has not absorbed them. This strategy makes it "depend" of Talend in terms of ETL and Mondrian solutions- Pentaho for the OLAP engine.

This is not a problem given the nature of both …
Pentaho was created in 2004 and at this moment, it is the leader of the Open Source BI solutions. It offers a large spectrum of resources, and using its own solutions, it is able to maintain and explore a BI project.

It features Pentaho, Jasper, Eclipse BIRT, Palo and SQL Power...
