Pentaho Increases European Investment

Launches German web-site, recruits from rivals, outreaches to customers

Munich, Germany – 13th June 2010 Pentaho Corporation, the open source business intelligence (BI) leader, today announced, at the TDWI show in Munich on 14th to the 16th June that it will launch its German-language Web-site this month, to service its growing customer base in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

In addition, the company announced it has attracted new European recruits from major rivals and that it plans a 16 webinar programme on Agile BI in five local languages across Europe. The recent additions to the European team include former European employees of Talend and QlikTech, part of a global migration to the leader in Open Source BI, which recently lured recruits from BI rivals Informatica and Actuate.

Vinay Joosery, European VP said: "The Pentaho story is becoming a very compelling one for customers, partners and now even for recruits from the competition. As well as validating our growing brand presence, we are learning some valuable lessons from competitors who once had the same opportunity to change the market that Pentaho now does. I feel privileged to work with this new team and impressed with how quickly it has gelled into a market-leading force."
