7. Why FOSS in Business Intelligence ?
The project is more important than the product, but the
products costs more than the project
BI products do not avoid project costs
BI products are often under-used
Slow cultural progress due to costs for research and
experiments
PRODUCT +
PROJECT =
SOLUTION
8. Opportunity and ROI with FOSS BI
Focus and investment on projects
Targeted investments, right measure (product and usage)
Investments protection
Experiments, R&I
Avoid constraints Strategic BI
Low TCO
No Lock-in Tactical BI
Low cost extensibility
Low cost scalability Operational BI
On time evolution
Increase of users, not of costs
10. SpagoBI: a definition
SpagoBI is an integration platform for
enterprise BI solutions, entirely
developed in FOSS philosophy
11. What SpagoBI is ?
SpagoBI is an integration platform for enterprise BI solutions, entirely
developed in FOSS philosophy (Free and Open Source Software)
Platform:
It covers and satisfies all the BI requirements: KPIs, Reporting,
OLAP, Dashboard and charts, Data Mining, Free Inquiring (QbE),
Dossier, Geo-referenced analysis, Collaboration
Data Management, Profiling and security
Support for the administrator (versioning, scheduling, approval
iter, import/export, etc)
12. What SpagoBI is ?
SpagoBI is an integration platform for enterprise BI solutions, entirely
developed in FOSS philosophy (Free and Open Source Software)
Integration platform:
Not a product platform, with a predefined set of tools
Open to many products for the same/different analytical area, both open
source and proprietary
It allows the composition of one’s own platform time for time in the best
way
No binding dependences from products and tools
Open standards adoption
It allows to give the right answers to analytical questions by means of
different products
13. What SpagoBI is ?
SpagoBI is an integration platform for enterprise BI solutions, entirely
developed in FOSS philosophy (Free and Open Source Software)
Enterprise platform
Distributed architecture (scalability)
Adaptive behaviour of the documents based on the end users’
roles
Entirely Open Source
It is not the lite OS version of an enterprise commercial version
15. Integration Platform
The behavioural model is the core of the
platform and regulates visibility over
documents and data
Each analytical area (report, olap, chart, etc.)
is covered by one or more Analytical Engines
Some engines are developed integrating
external tools (5 engines up to now), in order
to add value in the OS domain more than to
compete on the same field
Some other engines are developed by the
SpagoBI team from scratch (7 engines up to
now)
Integrate commercial tools as external
engines is also possible to save investments
already done (2 engines to work with
commercial tools up to now)
16. Integration Platform
Not every project needs all the engines
Every time is chosen the mix that best
suites the client’s needs
The architecture is modular, it is possible
to add or take out engines in times
The architecture is distributed, it is
possible to install engines on different
servers
The architecture is scalable, it is possible
to install new instances of the same
engines, over the same or other servers,
in order to distribute the workload
A project can start with few engines and
add others when it needs.
The behavioural model guarantees
consistency in times
