Embedding Open Source BI in Mission Critical Applications: Dos and Don'ts
Enterprise adoption of Open Source Business Intelligence (BI) is on the upswing. A 2006 study conducted by Ventana Research shows that Open Source BI is preferred for many mission-critical applications, even when a proprietary BI solution is already deployed enterprise-wide. And while initial implementations are small, very large deployments of 20,000 users or more are in the works.
Why are enterprises adopting Open Source - particularly when proprietary BI solutions are already in place? Lower cost of ownership is clearly the primary attraction. The Ventana Research study also shows that Open Source BI solutions now provide the functionality that most organizations require, which is also driving adoption.
This paper describes the "Dos" and "Don'ts" of embedding open source business intelligence in mission critical applications.
