SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 18, 2008 - Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today announced extensive enhancements to its Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite Community Edition, including the new JasperReports Flash Exporter and JasperAnalysis OLAP Workbench. The enhancements also include improved integration between Jaspersoft’s market-leading graphical reporting building tool (called iReport) and Jasper Server, support for new portal integration standards, and more. These upgrades extend Jaspersoft’s ability to address the needs of its complete community by providing the best open source BI functionality available today. The Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite community edition can be downloaded by going to http://www.Jaspersoft.com/downloads.html.

“The new functionality we’re announcing today reflects advancements provided by our incredibly active community of BI customers, developers and partners. With more than 80,000 production deployments worldwide, Jaspersoft supports the most widely used BI software in the world,” said Brian Gentile, chief executive officer, Jaspersoft. “These significant advancements in open source business intelligence capabilities demonstrate our commitment to meeting the needs of customers across communities and geographies.”
 

Industry analysts consistently rate business intelligence software as a top priority for organizations in the year ahead. With tightening IT budgets, business intelligence is the critical enabler of improved decisions and processes that optimize business performance. With rapid consolidation of traditional commercial BI vendors, organizations are increasingly looking to modern open source alternatives.  Jaspersoft’s Community Edition updates include important features that meet the needs of this growing global market.

"Open source business intelligence software is gaining share in the market and findings from a recent IDC survey suggests there will be an accelerated rate of adoption in 2008." said Henry Morris, Senior Vice President of Software and Services Research at IDC. "Jaspersoft BI Suite Community Edition exemplifies this trend, demonstrating how an active community brings a steady stream of enhancements to meet priority user requirements."

Hundreds of recent updates have been made to the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite Community Edition, including:

JasperReports Flash Exporter is the newest add-on to the JasperReports reporting library, allowing documents generated by JasperReports to be exported to the Flash format using the Adobe Flex SDK. This brings easier integration of JasperReports with Flash-based applications.

Spreadsheet Exporter has been extended with the addition of a new data-centric exporter for Microsoft Excel to better enable downstream analysis of data in Excel, in addition to retaining the previously existing Excel exporter which exports richly formatted reports to Excel.  Also, JasperServer now includes a standard CSV exporter to support data export in a target neutral format.

JasperAnalysis OLAP Workbench is another new project that supports graphical OLAP cube and query design for JasperAnalysis. The Workbench is a tool for easily managing OLAP metadata and queries for JasperAnalysis, including a graphical OLAP schema designer and graphical MDX query designer. The resulting cube and query definitions can then be used by business users to perform simple but powerful analysis of even large quantities of multi-dimensional data stored in standard RDBMS systems.

Integration between iReport and JasperServer usability has been improved by assisting report developers who need to create complex reports containing subreports and by ensuring report naming rules are followed. 

SOA Web Services Integration has been further extended to offer support for report scheduling and running localized reports via Web Services.  For example, web services may now be used to perform common tasks like scheduling a report to be run at specific calendar intervals, deleting a previously scheduled job, or running the same report in English, Japanese, or other languages and locales.

Custom Data Sources are now easier to implement to provide support for unusual or legacy data sources, as well as to implement custom business logic in the queries for reports.

JSR-168 Portal Support is now available with an included open source portal server and JSR-168 compliant portlets for interacting with the repository (the report manager) and for running reports within the bundled or an external portal. The portlets include support for single-sign on, selecting reports, pagination and parameter input controls. The portlets integrate with JasperServer via SOA Web Services, allowing loosely coupled integration between JasperServer and a portal server in any environment.

JasperETL Java Code Generation now better supports the Java development community through the option to generate the ETL job code in Java, in addition to existing support for Perl.

JasperETL Enhanced Native Database Support has been further extended with new Oracle and MySQL database-specific ETL components and bulk loader support, as well as the ability to “push-down” operations to the RDBMS server with new E-LT components.  This enables organizations to more efficiently utilize investments in specific RDBMS products and server hardware.

Technical Collaboration with Microsoft Delivers New Excel Integration, Ensures Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite "Works with Windows Server 2008"

OSBC Conference, San Francisco, Calif., March 25, 2008 - Jaspersoft, the market leader in Open Source Business Intelligence, today announced it is working with Microsoft on a series of initiatives to optimize the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite for Windows Server 2008 and other key Microsoft technologies. In addition, Jaspersoft announced the immediate availability of the new Jaspersoft ODBO Connect™ product, which enables Microsoft Excel to be used as a front-end for the JasperAnalysis data analysis server. These announcements extend Jaspersoft’s existing support for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft SQL Server platforms.

“More than 50 percent of open source applications deployed in the enterprise are running on Windows systems,” said Sam Ramji, senior director of platform technology strategy at Microsoft. “And more than 50 percent of OLAP deployments use Excel as the client interface, so we are pleased to be collaborating with Jaspersoft to deliver optimized versions of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite for both Microsoft’s server and desktop platforms and applications.”

Recognizing the overwhelming prevalence of Microsoft Excel as a desktop data analysis tool, Jaspersoft is introducing Jaspersoft ODBO Connect, which integrates directly with Excel PivotTable reports to provide interactive access to Jaspersoft’s JasperAnalysis relational OLAP server. Customers can analyze data directly in Windows client tools such as Excel, instead of using a Web browser. Using OLE DB for OLAP (ODBO), XML for Analysis (XML/A), and the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) open standards to deliver unparalleled integration, Jaspersoft ODBO Connect is available immediately. ODBO is the standard application programming interface (API) for exchanging metadata and data between an OLAP server and a client on a Windows platform. Unlike most Excel integration products in the BI market, Jaspersoft ODBO Connect is included at no additional charge to JasperAnalysis customers. For more information, please go to: http://www.Jaspersoft.com/Jaspersoft_JasperAnalysis.html

Jaspersoft is also announcing the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite has completed the “Works with Windows Server 2008 certification,” updating its existing support for Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. The “Works with Windows Server 2008” program is intended to help developers and customers ensure that applications meet the baseline technical bar for compatibility with Windows Server 2008 and can be deployed with confidence immediately.

“We are pleased to deliver these tightly integrated products to our Community and Professional Edition customers,” said Brian Gentile, CEO of Jaspersoft. “Windows Server is a clear standard, Microsoft Excel is the most widely used desktop data analysis tool, and Jaspersoft is the most widely deployed business intelligence software in the world. Together, Microsoft and Jaspersoft can serve the largest and most diverse community of business intelligence customers globally.”

SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 18, 2008 - Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today announced major company milestones that demonstrate its position as the world’s most widely-deployed business intelligence software suite. The company reports more than 80,000 deployments worldwide and boasts the largest open source BI community with more than 65,000 registered developers cooperating on more than 300 Jasper-related projects.   

                                                                   
Working with its partners, Jaspersoft has extended its reach into key segments of the open source and SaaS markets through distribution and technology partnerships with companies such as Ingres, MySQL, salesforce.com and Sun Microsystems.  The company’s success has been enabled by rapid, innovative enhancements to the product family, which have been recognized by the industry with several major awards in the past year.

“No other business intelligence solution is used by as many organizations or is embedded in as many applications as the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite,” said Brian Gentile, chief executive officer of Jaspersoft. “And, we see adoption of Jaspersoft products growing at an expanding rate, which we credit to the innovation of the open source community and to an increasing demand for choice and flexibility in the rapidly consolidating BI industry.”

Commercial Success

Jaspersoft reports more than 2,500 new customers in its recently concluded fiscal year, bringing its total to more than 8,000 customers in 96 countries around the world.  Subscriptions to the Professional Edition of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite grew 227 percent in the same period and included customers such as Cincom, Ingres, Glovia Services (a Fujitsu company), SunGard, and Vericept Corporation. Recognizing the emergence of Jaspersoft as the standard in open source BI, Apress published two books in its Definitive Guides series, the Definitive Guide to JasperReports and the Definitive Guide to iReport, the first two independent technical publications to cover the open source business intelligence sector.

"The Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite enabled Ingres to take advantage of the flexibility and fit of the best-of-breed SaaS enterprise applications we have deployed for Financials and Sales Automation, along with the power of on premise advanced reporting and analytics," said Doug Harr, CIO of Ingres. "Ingres needed a way to centralize all of the corporate data and reach into it with powerful and customizable reporting tools. Jaspersoft helped the Ingres team put an end to the task of sifting through spreadsheets to deliver critical data to key line of business managers in sales and marketing."

Community Growth and Leadership

Jaspersoft today is also announcing it will make available its Community Vibrancy Index (CVI). The Index provides a definitive methodology for tracking the health of the Jaspersoft community and serves as a dashboard for ensuring the company is being a responsible and active steward for the largest BI community in the world.  After an initial period of testing, Jaspersoft will make the CVI available under a Creative Commons license to accompany a new version of its community web site, Jasperforge.org, in the spring.

The CVI is a response to Jaspersoft’s explosive community growth, which has seen a 300 percent increase in new registrations in the past year and has currently recorded more than 3,000,000 downloads. Jasperforge.org saw 158 independent new projects started during the year, representing 120 percent growth and bringing the projects to more than 300. Several community projects and contributions have been incorporated into the company’s latest release of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite Community Edition, which was also announced today: http://www.Jaspersoft.com/nw_press.html

San Francisco — December 5, 2007— Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence, today announced the appointment of Brian Gentile as president and chief executive officer.  Gentile brings 22 years of executive management, marketing, developer and community programs leadership to Jaspersoft. Most notably, he has held senior executive positions at leading business intelligence companies and successfully established and managed two of the world’s largest developer communities. Gentile will be responsible for guiding the company’s long-term business strategy and continued growth as a leader and innovator in business intelligence software.

“Jaspersoft has emerged as the clear market leader in open source business intelligence,” said Gentile. “With more than 60,000 registered developers and more than 2.5 million core product downloads, the global Jaspersoft community is experiencing explosive growth. Organizations understand that broadly-deployed business intelligence is required to improve business agility in today’s fast-paced environment, which provides Jaspersoft with an important opportunity to lead the business intelligence market.”

Gentile has continuously demonstrated success in helping companies reach their financial and market leadership objectives. He has spent most of his career with leading market- and technology-driven organizations and has particular experience building world-class developer communities.

Among his accomplishments during eight years with Apple Computer, Gentile grew the evangelism team from 30 to 100 employees, greatly improving Apple’s ability to support and partner with the 10,000 independent software companies in its developer community.  At Sun Microsystems, Gentile served as the company’s first Vice President of Developer Relations, where he helped create the Sun and Java Developer Connection programs.  Together, these became the fastest-growing and largest developer communities in the industry with more than 2 million members during his tenure. He also built Sun’s first strategic evangelism team, creating methods to directly engage thousands of developers with highly influential technical guidance. 

Gentile most recently comes from Informatica Corporation, where he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, and led all aspects of the company’s global marketing efforts. Previously, he also served as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Brio Software, helping to profitably rebuild the company and then assist in its acquisition by Hyperion Solutions.

Gentile will be replacing Paul Doscher as CEO, who helped recruit Gentile first to the company’s board of directors and now to a direct operational role as President and CEO.  Doscher will remain on Jaspersoft's board of directors to both help implement a smooth executive transition and to provide operational advice and insight.

“Brian’s deep experience building successful developer-centric organizations is a perfect fit for Jaspersoft,” said Rory O’Driscoll, managing director for Scale Venture Partners and a member of the Jaspersoft board of directors. “His experience building two of the world’s largest and most successful developer communities, knowledge of the business intelligence market, and executive experience at two leading business intelligence software companies make him the ideal person to drive the next phase of Jaspersoft’s growth.  The board is confident in Brian’s ability to meet corporate objectives and extend Jaspersoft’s leadership in the open source and business intelligence markets.”

SSan Francisco, Calif. / Redmond, Wash. — November 8, 2007 — Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence (BI), and Noetix® Corp., a software provider that automatically generates BI content from enterprise applications, today announced the general availability of Jasper4Oracle E-Business Suite, Powered by Noetix.  The offering features the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite (JBIS) and NoetixViews®, an extensive set of reporting objects (metadata), delivering business views of the underlying Oracle applications database, which together provide Oracle E-Business Suite customers with intuitive and affordable, web-based, ad hoc BI. The solution enables business users to ‘drag & drop’ familiar business terms for simplified self-service reporting and business intelligence.

“Jasper4Oracle E-Business Suite, Powered by Noetix, is the latest solution in our Jasper4 program, which delivers Business Intelligence tailored for packaged applications,” said Jose Morales, VP of Business Development for Jaspersoft “With Jasper4Oracle E-Business Suite, Jaspersoft continues to deliver powerful, affordable and easy-to-use solutions that immediately address a company’s most  critical business needs.”

The combination of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite with NoetixViews delivers unparalleled insight into a customer’s mission critical data. NoetixViews automatically discovers the customer-specific setups within the Oracle E-Business Suite, deciphers the maze of data relationships, and joins the proper tables together to create a set of database views.  JBIS then dynamically reads the database views and delivers intuitive access to the end user. The result is a transformation of database complexity into recognizable business views of the data that can easily be used by non-technical employees to create custom operational and ad hoc reports with the JBIS.

The joint solution decreases staffing expense and total cost of ownership of BI for the Oracle E-Business Suite.  JBIS is significantly more affordable than leading proprietary BI solutions, while providing a more modern, web-based architecture. NoetixViews minimizes the need for in-depth knowledge of the Oracle E-Business Suite data structure by providing fully documented views that solve specific business problems.

In addition, Jaspersoft reports developed directly against Noetix-generated views of the Oracle E-Business Suite do not risk expensive rework when the applications are upgraded.  NoetixViews protects reports from these database changes by automatically remapping the new or changed tables to the views to reflect these changes.  This feature eliminates the need for expensive report maintenance and simplifies the report migration process.

“Noetix supports Jaspersoft in their mission to drive powerful reporting and BI into the hands of more users,” said Jeff Kirk, director of Strategic Alliances for Noetix. “This partnership solves the Oracle E-Business Suite customer requirement for an easy, simple to use web-based business intelligence tool.”

SAN FRANCISCO — November 1, 2007 — Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence, today announced availability of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite (JBIS) Version 2.1 for Sun x64 (x86, 64-bit) server platforms.  The announcement marks Jaspersoft’s official support for 64-bit processors, allowing for increased scalability and performance across their suite of business intelligence products, covering operational reporting, data warehousing and data integration.  With JBIS 2.1, Jaspersoft will be offering certification and support for Sun Fire™ x64 servers, Sun SPARC®-powered servers running the open source OpenSolaris™ Operating System (OS) Platform, as well as AMD Opteron–powered and Intel Xeon systems.

Jaspersoft is certifying the entire JBIS product family for the Sun Fire x64 and SPARC server platform, and will be offering professional subscriptions with full support and services.  JBIS, in combination with Sun server technology provides an affordable, completely scalable BI solution on a choice of Opteron- or Xeon- powered servers, as well as on SPARC-powered servers.  The Jaspersoft BI suite is a native 64 bit solution offering a full range of BI capabilities including production reporting, interactive reporting, data analysis, and data integration, which make business intelligence easily accessible to anyone within an organization through a Web browser. Jaspersoft was recognized last May at the annual Sun JavaOne conference with a Duke’s Choice award for the most influential open source Java technology-based application. Jaspersoft’s native 64-bit support gives a strategic advantage over many traditional BI products with only 32-bit processor support, which limits them to utilizing 4GB RAM per process. This 32-bit limitation restricts the capacity and performance of business intelligence solutions, unless strategies are employed to swap out to disk caches, which greatly slows processes. Furthermore, as scaling to support more users is memory intensive, 32-bit-only support means a lower limit on the number of users per machine. Additionally, memory-intensive processes like OLAP greatly benefit from 64-bit support. Many traditional BI players are limited to emulate their 32-bit applications inside a 64-bit environment, thus underutilizing the server’s potential memory capacity.

"Delivering native 64-bit open source business intelligence on Sun’s x64 and SPARC servers validates our position of driving BI into the hands of more users by providing our truly affordable, user-friendly, and highly scalable BI solutions with Sun’s server product line,” said Jose Morales, VP of business development for Jaspersoft. “We are thrilled to bring this solution to the market, and value Sun’s commitment to the thriving open source business intelligence marketplace.”

“The optimization for Sun's x64 and SPARC server platform by Jaspersoft’s native 64-bit open source technology provides benefits in simplifying BI projects. With Sun infrastructure and Jaspersoft’s ability to support mainstream RDBMS, including native PostgreSQL support which is built into the open source Solaris OS, the BI marketplace gains a new, effective offering,” said Juan Carlos Soto, vice president, global market development and engineering at Sun.

Availability
Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite version 2.1 with native 64-bit support is available immediately.

• In the web browser based ad hoc report designer, users can now create reports containing custom formulas, charts and crosstabs with drag-and-drop (AJAX) , as well as reports combining  charts and other report types;
• For programmers and ISV/OEMs, there is a fully supported complete public Java API; a new “ad hoc launcher” API to drive ad hoc query and analysis functionality from another application; new web services for scheduling; and a simplified methodology for custom data source implementation;
• Dashboarding via JSR-168 Portlets allowing users to build dashboards in portals such as Liferay, which is now bundled with JBIS;
• Data access security for data warehouses, which allows a user’s profile to dictate what data the user can see in the warehouse;
• Expanded data integration capabilities in JasperETL including a new multi-user repository, new monitoring tools, and support for slowly-changing dimensions in data warehouses;
