Today, our “Powered by Talend” partner JasperSoft announced the General Availability of its complete BI suite (see JasperSoft’s Press Release). This is very exciting news for us… and, I believe, for Open Source as well.

In effect this release has a few characteristics that should be noted:
* It illustrates the ability of two open source “pure player” actors to integrate seamlessly… which will hopefully contribute, to some extent, in re-assuring IT professionals on Open Source products’ ability to co-exist and/or interoperate.
* It represents an integrated best-of-breed alternative to those who don’t believe in the “wanna-do-it-all suites”…

Technically speaking, JasperETL Professional Edition comes to market with a few new features that are address some of the enterprise needs like:
* Activity Monitoring Console providing a comprehensive, consolidated graphical view of the data integration jobs execution statistics
* Administrator console to create users define their profile and manage their credentials through a web interface
* Remote repository allowing users within the enterprise to share their jobs, business models, custom routines and or metadata components they may create

Looking back at the our months that went by since we signed the partnership (!) …
You gotta love what the Open Source model can do for you!!

Stay put for more exciting news
