6 Actuate Launches the BIRT Project Actuate proposed and started BIRT Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools Project a top-level Eclipse project Actuate Joins Eclipse Foundation as Strategic Developer and Board Member Adds BI and Reporting as Open Source Project Professional open source Primary development resources funded by Actuate Contributions from many sources IBM, Innovent Solutions and community 7 AUGUST 2004

7 Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools A New Generation of Data Visualization Technology Makes all data-driven content development easy Modern, web-page design metaphor Open and standards-based Flexible with rich programmatic control Full support for libraries and reuse Foundation for a range of solutions Simplicity that makes simple layouts easy BIRT Power to create very complex layouts 8

8 BIRT Release History September 2004 BIRT Project proposal accepted, and project launched June Eclipse Report Designer, Report Engine, Chart Engine December Support for a wide variety of common layouts June Advanced parameters, ability to join data sets, June Dynamic crosstab support, web services data source, June JavaScript Debugger, BiDi Support, Charts in Crosstabs, June Page aggregates, Multiple drill-downs in Charts, June New charts, more chart control, developer productivity, June POJO Runtime, Hive/Hadoop, Open Office emitters June Maven Support, Excel Data Source, Relative Time Periods June POJO Data Source, MongoDB/Cassandra support, client JS 9

9 BIRT Example Key Capabilities Very Simple to Very Complex Layouts Listings, cross-tab, dashboard, pixelperfect, charts Grouping, advanced aggregations, subtotals, calculations Multi-section and sub-reports Conditional sections and logic Full programmatic control/scripting Embedded images Comprehensive Data Access SQL databases, Web Services, Flat Files, XML, scripted data sources Multiple data sources in one design Output Formats HTML, PDF, Excel, Word, PowerPoint Internationalization of labels and text Bi-Directional language display 10 Re-use and Developer Productivity Library support for publishing and sharing components Leverages common standards (SQL, HTML, JavaScript, Java, XML) Cascading Style Sheets Built-in debugger Interactivity and Linking Data driven hyperlinks Drill-through charts and graphics Multiple Usage and Productivity Aids Graphical layout and design Query & metadata editors Formatting Builder Grouping Builder Customizable cheat sheets and templates

20 Extension Points Extensibility is a key principle of the BIRT Project Data source extensibility Application specific design-time query builders Custom design-time and run-time data access Custom business logic extensibility Incorporate complex business logic scripting Access existing and new Java code Visualization extensibility Build new visual data presentation widgets Extend charting with new chart types; new output formats Rendering content for output Target output for specific devices and formats 21

21 Case Study OpenMRS Open Source Health IT for the planet Electronic medical record system platform built in response to those actively building and managing health systems in the developing world, where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict the lives of millions Customizable to the needs of clinical and research organizations, robust enough for a nationwide health care system, and nimble enough for a field-based clinic OpenMRS used in Kaduna, Nigeria 22

22 Case Study OpenMRS Why did OpenMRS choose BIRT? Feature rich design tool Multiple output types (.xls, ) Extensibility Configurability Challenge: Very complex data model Solution: Custom BIRT ODA driver Hide data complexity Allow users to author reports Leveraging Open Marketplace on BIRT Exchange to promote ODA 23
