Recorded on October 17, 2006

The presence and popularity of open source technologies is now established. Media outlets both inside and outside the technology industry regularly publish open source (OS) articles. Venture capital firms are looking for the next Red Hat. OS software download sites are experiencing increased volume, and the number of worldwide OS development projects expands daily. However, to date, open source’s chronicled success has primarily focused on the technology infrastructure of IT systems – replacing operating systems, application servers and databases.

Open source business intelligence (OSBI) represents one of the first legitimate OS moves up the software stack into business application platforms.

Specifically, you will learn:

• The economics of OSBI vs. proprietary BI
• Who is leading adoption and why
