This major release gives power to the user with new interactive reporting, rich data discovery capabilities, and a completely redesigned user interface. Pentaho now delivers dramatic progress in the ability for business users to access, report, and analyze data from more sources, more easily, and quicker than ever before.
Chief among these new features is the new interactive, Web-based report designer, which provides intuitive yet powerful report building for non-technical business users to serve their own reporting requirements without relying on IT. This builds upon Pentaho's strong operational reporting capabilities, and complements Pentaho's comprehensive data analysis, data integration, and data mining capabilities, all with the benefit of low-cost, subscription-based pricing.
