Open Source Business Intelligence - a smart solution
I get the opportunity to hear about new solutions in our industry every week. These briefings are generally helpful in learning the what, how and why of vendor strategies (sometimes not ha ha). Put recently the focus on open source solutions are really gaining momentum. If you haven’t looked at open source as a viable answer to some of your business challenges you may be missing a golden opportunity. In a recent article titled CA ready to wage war against Oracle with Ingres in Eweek it outlines the cash investment made by CA into the building of the community.
Community investment really holds the key to the kingdom for open source. Just putting a wrapper around an open source solution isn’t enough to insure success. The true power and innovation of open source are based in a collaborative community approach I hope that companies continue on this road. Included below are links to companies that are embracing the open source culture as well as the solutions.
Pentaho – http://www.pentaho.org
GreenPlum – http://www.greenplum.com
I’m sure I missed a bunch so send me links in the comments section of companies I need to add to this list.
