Business Intelligence in OpenOffice

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007 at 3:14 pm

I work in BI, and I use OpenOffice, so this is a pretty exciting announcement. Seems that Sun has worked out a deal with Pentaho to include their BI reporting engine with the next version of OpenOffice. Looks like OOo 2.3 (due out in the second half of 2007) will include the new BI stuff. Here’s a link to an article about the deal and Pentaho’s announcement.

As an OpenOffice user I’m glad to see this functionality being included. As a BI professional I’m glad to see something like Pentaho in the open source arena. I now need to get familiar with Pentaho, something that’s tough to find time to do with a 2 and a half year old running around the house.
