For an overview and description of features in the Pentaho Open BI Suite, please click here for the datasheet.

Pentaho Corporation is the primary sponsor and leader of The Pentaho BI Project. The Pentaho BI Project is an ongoing initiative by the open source community that provides organizations with best-in-class solutions for their enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) needs. By leveraging the wealth of open source technologies and the contributions of the open source development community we are able to innovate much faster than commercial vendors. As a result, we provide an open source alternative that surpasses the leading proprietary BI suites in many areas of architecture, standards support, functionality, and ease of deployment. In other words, we don't expect you to adopt it simply because it's open, we expect that you will choose it because it's better. This Technical Whitepaper describes Pentaho's architecture and technical advantages.

• Java developers who can use project components to rapidly assemble custom BI solutions.
• ISVs who can enhance the value and capability of their solutions by embedding BI functionality.
• End-Users who can rapidly deploy packaged BI solutions which are either competitive or superior to traditional commercial offerings at a dramatically lower cost.
• The Pentaho BI Project team who are free to pursue their passion for BI while being a part of the Open Source movement which is revolutionizing the software industry to better serve users.
