Introducing Pentaho Business Analytics Platform
As part of Pentaho's suite of products, Pentaho offers an open source Business Analytics Platform. The Business Analytics Platform is a web application that allows users to publish and manage reports within an enterprise business intelligence system. The Business Analytics Platform offers many capabilities, including the management and execution of Pentaho reports. By combining Pentaho Reporting and Pentaho's Business Analytics Platform, information technologists may utilize Pentaho Reporting in their environment without writing any code. In addition to the publishing and execution of reports, the open source Business Analytics Platform allows for scheduling, background execution, security, and much more.
With Pentaho's Enterprise Business Analytics Platform, additional capabilities are available, but in this book, we prefer to use the Community Edition as it is downloadable and available for everyone without any cost.
