I was assigned the task to review a variety of different business intelligence vendors to find out which one would suite our companies needs best. The type of requirements we needed to meet included interactivity with data throughout our different levels of employees and also the ability to generate high quality visual data by leveraging data visualization software. Furthermore, it was vital for us to also use the next generation open-source based business intelligence because this would give our developers the ability to interact with the software at a deep level. When we began searching for vendors we came across a variety of different ones but a company called Actuate seemed to set the standard for business intelligence and carried a powerful product line of offerings tailored for our needs. We also came to find out that Actuate has an entire community of open source developers that help maintain the software. Overall, we were quite pleased with their offerings and decided to download a trial version of their software. We are currently testing out the software and out it to be quite easy to use. The interface is clean and the presentation of rich information is appealing, it’s also a great open source business intelligence tool. Though, we have not made any final decisions, if your company is looking for a similar solution to ours, try out Actuate BIRT yourself.
