Ad Hoc Reporting
for Business Users |
Pentaho is the first company to offer business user self-service (ad hoc) reporting in open source, providing flexibility and agility for users who need to answer their own unique business questions, while preserving centralized security, business definitions, and IT control. A web-based wizard makes it easy for business users to create their own reports in seconds and produce them in HTML, Adobe PDF, or formatted Excel worksheets. |
|
| Standards-based BI Metadata |
Pentaho Open BI Suite 1.6 provides a centralized metadata layer, which enables IT professionals to create reusable business definitions for business-user reporting, while abstracting users from the underlying structure and complexity of corporate applications and databases. Pentaho's BI metadata layer is based on the Common Warehouse Model (CWM) standard to simplify and streamline integration with existing metadata-driven applications. |
