OpenBI Presents to Colorado Chapter of TDWI
February 10, 2009 1:00pm to 4:00pm
The Westin Westminster, 10600 Westminster Blvd., Westminster, CO, 80020, 866-716-8137

ABSTRACT
With shrinking IT budgets and demand for richer integration, organizations are taking a fresh look at the power of open source business intelligence platforms. Backed by commercial businesses and a community-based development model, OSBI packages now offer the same core BI functionality as their proprietary brethren at significantly lower cost.

This session will review two cases. The first case study presents a BI dashboard application powered by the Pentaho platform. The app leverages a cloud computing infrastructure for low TCO and virtually unlimited scalability. Enabling the web-based dashboard are an open source database, open source ETL, and an open source OLAP engine, delivering web-based, drillable access to sales data. This section will review the architecture, tools and components behind the OSBI application. The second case will demonstrate how to extend the core query, reporting and analysis capabilities of the Pentaho and Jaspersoft OSBI platforms with the advanced analytical modeling and statistical graphing capabilities of the open source standard R Project for Statistical Computing. Modern BI/DW implementations demand more sophisticated means to analyze and display information. With over 1.5 million worldwide users, R’s vibrant and extensive library of statistical modeling/machine learning methods and advanced statistical graphics significantly expands the core capabilities of Pentaho and Jaspersoft. Examples will be shown with a review of the integration architecture.
