Open Source BI : Pentaho Rules!
Dear Pentaho friends,
I just wanted to share some good news with you regarding a new study that got published today.
Mark Madsen, an independent business intelligence analyst, together with the BeyeNETWORK took an in depth look at what is going in companies with respect to open source BI.**
You can find the complete report over at the BeyeNETWORK, but here is the graph that particularly interested me:

My congratulations to the Pentaho community for pulling this off.
Until next time,
Matt

What does the graph represent - companies that have these technologies in use? How many companies are represented here?

Very good question Debby. The report (free download) says that it refers to the “Level of Usage”. Since the total s over 100%, I guess it simply means the % of companies using the tool.
