1 JASPERSOFT CORPORATE OVERVIEW The World s Most Widely Deployed Business Intelligence Software

2 Business Intelligence for the New IT World The world of enterprise IT is undergoing a tectonic shift. Organizations are increasingly dissatisfied with the costs imposed on them by large IT vendors; their IT stack is having to morph to accommodate a much more decentralized, virtualized and mobile infrastructure; and their business users are expecting enterprise applications to behave like Google or Facebook. Tectonic shifts are occurring in today s enterprise IT environment, powered by mega-forces such as globalization and commoditization Geoffrey Moore In this changed IT world, traditional business intelligence (BI) is not able to keep up. The cost of buying and deploying BI for everyone who needs it is prohibitive; the architecture, designed for the old IT stack, cannot be optimally deployed in a network-centric infrastructure; and the product design does not have the simplicity or interactivity expected by today s enterprise consumers. The new IT world requires a new kind of business intelligence one that can be affordably deployed to everyone, that is architected with the flexibility required by the new IT stack, and that is designed with the modern information worker in mind. This new kind of business intelligence is Jaspersoft. Jaspersoft is a commercial, open source software company that provides an end-to-end, web-based business intelligence suite designed for the new IT world with a modern user interface, a flexible architecture and an affordable pricing model.

3 A Modern BI Suite for Today s Enterprise Consumers Jaspersoft has been designed to imitate a typical intuitive consumer-style web app, with the aim of increasing usability Jaspersoft provides a modern, end-to-end business intelligence suite that is designed with the needs of today s information workers in mind. The BI suite looks and feels like a consumer-style web application. Jaspersoft Brings the Consumer Web to BI Interactive reports and dashboards, animated charting, ad hoc query and analysis and a modern in-memory engine provide self-service BI for every type of business user wherever they are -- at their desk or on the road. Benefits of a Modern BI Suite For ISVs and SaaS providers: Integrating a modern BI suite into your product or service will mean greater competitiveness, increased visual appeal for your customers and ultimately more revenue for your company. For IT and BI groups: You can greatly increase the success of your business intelligence projects and your team s positive impact on the organization with a BI suite that delivers self-service through a consumer app-style user interface. For business users: The interactive reports and dashboards, speed-of-thought analysis, and ad hoc query capabilities allow you to get quick and easy answers to your business questions from your desktop or mobile device. New prospects see the dashboards, the drag-and-drop ad hoc query, and aesthetics, and say: Wow. We didn t know you guys could do this. And it s getting us new business lots of it. Bruce Belvin, President

4 A Flexible Architecture Built for the New IT Stack The Jaspersoft business intelligence suite is built on a modern, lightweight, 100% web-standards architecture that cleanly separates the business logic, structure, events and presentation layers of the application and can be invoked through an extensive set of web service APIs. The architecture is also data agnostic which means any data source, from relational to OLAP to Big Data sources can be natively plugged into the Jaspersoft BI suite. It s all standards-based and we were able to apply the skills we had developed elsewhere. It was very easy for us to absorb the Jaspersoft technology into our system architecture Jeremy Walters, Director, Systems Development This flexible architecture makes it very easy to deploy your BI solution anywhere, whether on premises, in a public or private cloud, or in a multi-tenant SaaS environment. The Jaspersoft BI suite can also be easily embedded or integrated within another application or customized and extended to fit a specific need. Benefits of a Flexible Architecture For ISVs and SaaS providers: Thanks to full multi-tenancy, the clean separation of business logic (.java), structure (.jsp), events (.js) and presentation (.css) layers and the extensive web service APIs it is easier to customize and embed BI capabilities into your product or service, reducing development effort and speeding time to market. For IT and BI groups: The 100% web-standards architecture means it requires less effort to integrate Jaspersoft into your current infrastructure and you can leverage existing skills to manage and deploy the BI solution. For business users: Because the BI capabilities from Jaspersoft can easily be embedded into your enterprise portal or your preferred application, you get the reports, dashboards and analysis you need without having to go to a separate, standalone BI application. Jaspersoft has focused on making its software more easily manageable for a wider range of administrators Jaspersoft Re-architects BI for the Web

5 An Affordable BI Suite that Satisfies Current Cost Imperatives Built on a commercial open source business model, Jaspersoft delivers a complete BI suite at a fraction of the cost of traditional BI vendors, up to 82% less according to a leading industry analyst group. Not only are the software subscription license costs low, but fast deployment times lower the implementation costs with customers often up and running within a week with their starter deployment. Because we wanted to be able to grow and change as our needs evolved, we chose what we felt was the more future-proof platform. That and a very low cost of ownership made our choice fairly easy. John Sweet-Escott, Project Director Benefits of an Affordable BI Suite For ISVs and SaaS providers: The simple, affordable subscription licensing model means you keep BI costs low and predictable while helping contribute to top-line revenue through increased competitiveness and value-added BI services. For IT and BI groups: Thanks to low-cost subscription licensing, you can complete more BI projects for more users, leading to greater business insight and higher levels of satisfaction with IT. For business users: With a simple, scalable pricing model, more users can get access to self-service reporting, dashboards and analysis leading to a more data-focused culture and higher business performance.

6 BI Builders Bringing Business Intelligence to the New IT World BI Builders are those who prefer or need to build (customize, embed, integrate or extend) business intelligence rather than buy shrink-wrapped BI. Typically found in Development, Consulting or IT groups, these individuals combine the skills of application development and deployment on the new IT stack with business intelligence knowledge. Jaspersoft, an open source business intelligence (BI) provider, is helping fill a gap for an emerging class of IT professionals, BI Builders. Vance McCarthy Because of BI Builders heightened sensitivity to the benefits of BI and their skill in building, reporting and analytics are becoming key components in the emerging class of applications founded on the new virtualized, distributed and mobile IT stack. BI Builders and Jaspersoft enabling pervasive BI in the new IT world No matter how easy to use a BI tool is, broad deployment will always require individuals with knowledge of the data and the available time and technical skills. In the past, IT was tasked with this job but lacked the right BI platform which resulted in report backlogs and frustrated business users. Feeding on this frustration, some newer BI vendors eschew IT and target business users directly but this ultimately leads to data chaos. It is no surprise therefore that most analysts estimate that today less than a quarter of information workers have access to the BI they need. Now, thanks to the BI Builders, business intelligence is being delivered as part of the new class of enterprise applications and services. These interactive, self service-enabled applications deliver most of what business users require out-of-the box but also give them the autonomy to answer more specific questions. As this style of application becomes pervasive, so too will their embedded reporting and analytic components. Jaspersoft s BI suite is built for BI Builders. The modern design provides the self-service capabilities they need to deliver to their users. The flexible architecture makes it easy to integrate into applications built on the new IT stack. The cost-effective licensing means that the BI-enabled solution can be widely deployed.
