Pentaho Business Intelligence Report Sample
Knowledge is power can be true only if you have access to relevant information. In the fiercely competitive business environment, leveraging your corporate data for growth and expansion can be invaluable.
Pentaho Business Intelligence Suite product supports data mining, extraction, and reporting. A Java based OSS product is very comprehensive and requires very minimal training. As a component of the BI Suite, the Pentaho Report Designer (PRD) is a desktop application that provides a visual design environment to create report definitions. The report definitions can be executed and saved locally via PRD or published to a Pentaho BI Server to allow many people to access and schedule report execution.
