Jaspersoft, a provider of business intelligence (BI) software, announced it enhanced its Jaspersoft BI Enterprise Suite with upgraded data integration (DI) capabilities.

Jaspersoft ETL is an open source data integration environment for industry analysts. The company delivers affordable, enterprise-level capabilities that cost 80 percent less than traditional, proprietary vendors, company officials said.

The enhanced version offers the flexibility when deploying on premise, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment.

Customers will also have the option of deploying or embedding ETL into their applications.

The flexible Jaspersoft ETL supports BI Builders including the developers, IT professionals and consultants who are creating Web-based, customized analytics and reporting solutions embedded within a production application or running as a standalone application.

“For companies looking to derive competitive advantage and new operational insight from their data, the ability to quickly access and visualize information from many different sources is paramount,” said Brian Gentile, CEO of Jaspersoft, in a statement.

“Our advanced Jaspersoft ETL offering represents best-in-class technology, and with it, Jaspersoft is now able to deliver to customers an even greater end-to-end BI suite for moving, managing, reporting and analyzing data,” Gentile added.

Other important capabilities of Jaspersoft ETL include central repository for collaborative job design, change data capture, and sophisticated error recovery for improved availability; flexible architecture, a distributed execution engine for performance and efficient hardware utilization.

“We have been using Jaspersoft ETL for over three years now to populate our multi-tenant SaaS (News - Alert) solution for the Quick Serve Restaurant industry,” said Bruce S. Belvin, president at Monolith Software Solutions. “We have been very happy with this solution and love that we are getting the best of both worlds: best-in-class BI and best-in-class data integration.”
