Open Source BI solutions have many advantages over traditional proprietary
software, from offering lower initial costs to more flexible support and
integration options; but, until now, there has been no comprehensive guide
to the complete offerings of the OS BI market. Writing for IT managers and
business analysts without bias toward any BI suite, industry insider
Lyndsay Wise covers the benefits and challenges of all available open
source BI systems and tools, enabling readers to identify the solutions and
technologies that best meet their business needs. Wise compares and
contrasts types of OS BI and proprietary tools on the market, including
Pentaho, Jaspersoft, RapidMiner, SpagoBI, BIRT, and many more. Real-world
case studies and project templates clarify the steps involved in
implementing open source BI, saving new users the time and trouble of
developing their own solutions from scratch. For business managers who are
hard pressed to indentify the best BI solutions and software for their
companies, this book provides a practical guide to evaluating the ROI of
open source versus traditional BI deployments.
