Overview:

This concise white paper explores lessons learned from real-world deployments of open source Business Intelligence (BI) solutions. The report then examines best practices for moving forward with this less costly, more flexible alternative to BI proprietary technologies.

Based on a Ventana Research survey of hundreds of IT and business executives, the report identifies key issues, opportunities, and risks involved in deploying open source BI. Readers can learn what their peers are achieving - and what they plan to do next - with both operational and strategic open source BI implementations.

Finally, this report examines key variables and success factors in BI deployment, including project size, existing technical environment, cost of ownership, upgradeability, richness of functionality, vendor services, co-existence with commercial BI software, and side benefits of deployment. The report also outlines evaluation criteria and adoption strategies.
