  Pentaho, creator of the world.s most popular open source business intelligence (BI) suite, is focused on providing a rich, out-of-the-box experience for our users.

Products: The Pentaho Business Intelligence (BI) Project provides enterprise-class reporting, analysis, dashboard, data mining and workflow capabilities that help organizations operate more efficiently and effectively.

Challenge:

To install Pentaho's Business Intelligence platform, users must also setup Java, MySQL and JBoss or Tomcat on their system. Asking new users to install and configure all of the components manually often leads to a frustrating installation experience, which discourages new users from evaluating the software. Pentaho could choose to package and maintain those as part of an in-house installation project, but the labor-intensive task would take developers away from their core project, the BI platform.

BitRock Solution:

BitRock's Custom Stacks for Pentaho include all of the required open source software and enable users to be up and running with a complete BI solution with just a few clicks of a mouse. The same Linux stack will run across a range of Linux distributions, eliminating the need to offer separate packages for each supported distribution. The user-friendly installer quickly steps users through the configuration process and prevents installation errors, such as binding to ports that are in use or attempts to install software without the appropriate permissions. The BitRock Custom Stacks for Pentaho facilitate the evaluation process by making it easy for even inexperienced users to get the complete BI platform up and running in minutes.
