Comprehensive BI capabilities
The Pentaho BI Platform supports, integrates, and enables Pentaho's full spectrum of end user capabilities, including:
Reporting
All organizations use reporting in one form or another. As a result, reporting is considered a core Business Intelligence (BI) need and is frequently the first
BI application deployed. Pentaho Reporting allows organizations to easily access, format, and distribute information to employees, customers, and partners.
- Flexible deployment from standalone desktop reporting, to interactive web-based reporting to enterprise business intelligence
- Broad data source support including relational, OLAP, or XML-based data sources
- Flexible output options including Adobe PDF, HTML, Microsoft Excel, Rich Text Format, or plain text
- Wizard-driven report design for fast, easy report creation
Analysis
Pentaho Analysis puts rich, analytic power in the hands of your knowledge workers – helping them to operate with maximum effectiveness by
gaining the insights and understanding they need to make optimal decisions. For example, if a report shows sales are trending lower than expected,
knowledge workers need to be able to easily uncover the underlying issue by getting answers to questions such as:
- Is the problem with one product line, or certain regions?
- What’s different about that combination versus other combinations that don’t have problems?
- Is there a related problem with sales headcount? Marketing campaigns? Or something else?
Pentaho Analysis helps answer these kinds of business questions by:
- Making it easy for knowledge workers to freely explore business information by dragging, dropping, drilling into, and cross-tabulating data
- Providing speed-of-thought response times to complex analytical queries
- Offering advanced capabilities - such as integrated reporting, metadata, or dashboards through integration with other products in the Pentaho BI Suite
Dashboards
Pentaho Dashboards provide immediate insight into individual, departmental, or enterprise performance. By delivering key metrics in an attractive and
intuitive visual interface, Pentaho dashboards gives business users the critical information they need to understand and improve organizational performance.
Pentaho Dashboards delivers this visibility by providing:
- Comprehensive metrics management capabilities which allow for the definition and tracking of critical metrics at the individual, department, or enterprise level
- Rich, interactive visual displays so that business users can immediately see which business metrics are on track, and which need attention
- Integration with Pentaho Reporting and Pentaho Analysis so that users can drill to underlying reports and analysis to understand what factors are contributing to good or bad performance
- Portal integration to make it easy to deliver relevant business metrics to large numbers of users, seamlessly integrated into their application
- Integrated alerting to continuously monitor for exceptions and notify users to take action
Data Mining
