For most areas of enterprise open source, there is one clear leader. The business intelligence (BI) space is unusual in that there are two strong players: JasperSoft and Pentaho.
Here Doug Moran, one of Pentaho’s founders, offers a fascinating description of how the company was created in part by bringing on board the chief architects of several other open source projects, offers not one but two explanations of the Pentaho name, says more on the recent adoption of the GNU GPLv2 for its BI platform, and explains why – of course – he thinks Pentaho’s solutions are the best.
