Two New Open-Source BI Projects
June 12th, 2005 by Mark Rittman
A couple of open-source BI links.
Nicholas Goodman sent me
a link through to a
recent summary he’d made of the various open-source BI projects, and in
particular pointed out the Pentaho Nation
project, a group of industry veterans who are aiming to build a cohesive
technology stack out of the various open-source BI components.
In addition, Julian Ford, one of my colleagues at SolStonePlus,
pointed me in the direction of the
BEE Project, who are
putting together a suite of tools – an ETL engine and a ROLAP server – for BI
project within mid-size organisations. The BEE Project recommend mySQL as the
database engine and aims to support implementations of up to 50GB (with a max of
10GB per fact table). Not one I’d heard of before (they’re from the Czech
Republic) but I’ll certainly bookmark the page and check back later on.
