Pentaho Receives Intelligent Enterprise
2009 "Editors' Choice" Award

As The Open Source Alternative to Commercial Business Intelligence, Pentaho Named as a "Company to Watch" in BI

Orlando, FL – January 21, 2009 – Pentaho Corporation, the commercial open source alternative for business intelligence (BI), today announced that it received the Intelligent Enterprise 2009 "Editors' Choice" award as a Company to Watch.

Intelligent Enterprise named Pentaho as the only commercial open source company in the Business Intelligence Companies to Watch category, pointing to Pentaho's strong traction with customers and breadth of offering as differentiators: "Open-source BI is gaining traction, and Pentaho seems to have the most momentum. With projects including Mondrian OLAP, Pentaho Reporting Engine, Kettle ETL, Weka data mining and the core eponymous BI Suite, Pentaho has all the key BI components covered. It's a well-managed company with a solid technology base."

"It is a true honor to have been chosen by such a distinguished group of industry leaders as one of the Business Intelligence Companies to Watch," said Richard Daley, CEO of Pentaho. "As more people look beyond the marketing hyperbole of other open source BI vendors, what they see from Pentaho are real customer deployments across a wide range of industries and use-cases, and the only product suite that can actually provide a meaningful and attractive alternative to the traditional proprietary BI vendors.
