Open source is becoming a required option for consideration in many enterprise software evaluations, and business intelligence (BI) isn't exempt. This blog is the interactive part of my Open Source expert channel for the Business Intelligence Network where you can suggest and discuss news and events. The focus is on open source as it relates to analytics, business intelligence, data integration and data warehousing. If you would like to suggest an article or link, send an e-mail to me at open_source_links@ThirdNature.net.

Keynote Slides Posted for the Sun Open Source BI Summit

The keynote presentation for the 2008 Open Source BI Summit put on by Sun is available online now. I've embedded it below. A PDF is also available for download from Slideshare. Share and enjoy. Here's the informal description:

The enterprise software market is in the midst of a major structural shift.
Open source is a change in the conduct of the market – it’s not about ideology.
If we understand why this is happening, we can figure out how to respond.
The firms that develop a strategy to deal with the new market realities and open source will be the ones who make money.
The others, not so much.
