The Open, Embeddable Technology of Pentaho Business Analytics
Supports flexible analytics that both leverage existing data infratstructure and future-proof deployments against tomorrow’s inevitable change (see Figure 1).
By tightly coupling data integration with business analytics, this Pentaho technology brings together IT and business users to ingest, prepare, blend and analyze all data that impacts business results. Its intuitive data integration and preparation capabilities drastically reduce the hand coding required to bring data together for insight. At the same time, Pentaho Business Analytics provides a spectrum of analytics for all user roles, from visual data analysis for business analysts to tailored dashboards for all audiences—from business executives to front line workers. Pentaho software is fast to deploy, easy to use, and purpose-built for the future of analytics.
Data Integration
Organizations face an increasing challenge to manage and extract value from a growing variety and volume of data across their edge-to-cloud infrastructure. With Pentaho Data Integration, organizations can access data from complex and heterogeneous sources and blend it with existing relational data to produce high-quality, ready-to-analyze information— all without writing a line of code. A rich graphical user interface paired with a powerful multithreaded transformation engine offers high-performance ETL (extract, transform and load) capabilities that cover all data integration needs, including big data ingestion and processing.
