Customer: Loma Linda University Health Care
"Because Pentaho is so accessible to users, it has quickly spread to different groups and new users. Some users want data in a cube; others just want output or static data for a mailing. Regardless, users know that they can basically get anything they want, quickly and easily, because of Pentaho’s capabilities."
