Open Source Frees Up Business Intelligence
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past, open source projects were largely focused on horizontal software
| platforms within an organization's infrastructure stack. Such projects have
| been so successful that open source is now being extended up the technology
| stack and into mainstream adoption to encompass business applications,
| leveraging the open source LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Python/PHP/Perl)
| stack. Today, there are open source projects underway for just about every
| major infrastructure software technology imaginable, from content management
| systems to defining a Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).
|
| Synonymous with these trends, the Business Intelligence (BI) software market
| has seen the launch of several new open source projects related to reporting
| and data warehousing.
