Business Intelligence Software for the New IT World

Vision Overview

An emerging class of business, technology, and user requirements is defining a New IT World. This world is characterized by a heightened sensitivity to cost, a new technology stack that includes Cloud and Big Data, and a user base expecting consumer-application style interfaces.

Cost of BI

The Old IT World:
Traditional BI platforms are stuck with legacy business models and must maintain their aging installed base and product portfolio. These platforms are complex, resulting in lengthy and costly deployments, and denying organizations the expected return on their BI inv estment.

The New IT World:
Todays IT organization has a heightened sense of cost and time-to-value for any new IT project. The New IT World seeks pay-for-value, subscription-based or community-supported software that can be rapidly deployed throughout the organization.

Jaspersoft's Answer:
Jaspersoft gives customers cost-effective options with its extensive community support and subscription-based pricing at a cost that is 80% less than traditional BI platforms.

BI In the Cloud

The Old IT World:
BI platforms of the past several decades were designed with different requirements. They were built as monolithic stand-alone architectures with proprietary interfaces and extensions. Most traditional BI platforms do not come with rich APIs or web standard architectures, decreasing the ability to integrate and scale out using today’s cloud-based architectures.

The New IT World:
Today's BI projects require a flexible, web based, and scalable architecture. Modern BI platforms must come with a rich set of APIs for application integration while delivering a multi-tenant architecture for supporting cloud-based computing.

Jaspersoft's Answer:
Jaspersoft is a lightweight, scalable, completely web standard BI platform that supports relational, non-relational, and Big Data sources to deliver BI for on-premises, multi-tenant SaaS, or cloud deployments.

Consumerization of BI

The Old IT World:
Traditional BI user interfaces were designed to provide flexibility for the power user. These interfaces are too complex for the majority of users, greatly reducing adoption of business intelligence. They are not architected to be integrated into the everyday applications of most users. They do not have the ease-to-use of consumer-based applications.

The New IT World:
Enterprise consumers have new expectations of their BI tools, driven by new consumer devices and web applications. The interfaces of today’s BI applications must be interactive, easy to use, and accessible via a browser or mobile device. Reports, dashboards and analysis should be surfaced within the user’s application who no longer expects to have to leave his or her preferred workspace to access information.

Jaspersoft's Answer:
Jaspersoft provides a consumer web app-like UI that is intuitive and can be easily customized or integrated into another application using web standard technology such as cascading style sheets (CSS).
