Pentaho Corporation has made freely available under open source all of its big data capabilities in the new Pentaho Kettle 4.3 release, and has moved the entire Pentaho Kettle project to the Apache License, Version 2.0. Because Apache is the license under which Hadoop and several of the leading NoSQL databases are published, this move will further accelerate the rapid adoption of Pentaho Kettle for Big Data by developers, analysts and data scientists as the go-to tool for operationalizing big data.

Pentaho Corporation announced that Proniño, Fundación Telefónica’s charitable social action program, has implemented Pentaho Business Analytics to explore and visualize its data in real time and help define targeted measures for eradicating child labor in Latin America.
