Jaspersoft Launches 4.1 BI Suite

Jaspersoft, a provider of extremely popular business intelligence software, just revealed that the Jaspersoft 4 BI Suite will soon be available to customers complete with many upgrades including: a new data analysis functionality and native 64-bit support.

Jaspersoft 4.1 provides business users with an easy to use interface designed for performing data analysis against all different types of data sources like multi-dimensional, big data and relational data.

Traditional BI solutions usually force users to use multiple products for reporting and analysis against different data sources, however Jaspersoft 4.1 helps things to be a lot simpler, as business users can now use one web-based user interface to complete all the processes needed.

“Jaspersoft 4.1 is the beginning of a series of Jaspersoft releases that will best enable the BI Builder to deliver affordable, self-service BI that supports existing and emerging data environments,” said Karl Van den Bergh, vice president of product strategy at Jaspersoft. “Jaspersoft is leveraging its strength in reporting and dashboarding to simply introduce more analytic capability against any data source that can be easily deployed by BI Builders and consumed by business users. We’re uniquely suited to delivering this functionality thanks to our web standards-based architecture, our data-agnostic connectivity, and our modern user interface.”

Built upon the User Interface Framework of the Jaspersoft 4 BI Suite, Jaspersoft 4.1 helps BI Builders such as developers, IT professionals and consultants, who have the important task of designing custom, web-based reports and analysis to easily embed, extend or customize this self-service BI capability, according to a press release.

Due to the native 64-bit hardware support that Jaspersoft 4.1 offers, businesses can now finally receive a higher level of performance and scalability that they desperately need. Due to this newly upgraded software, BI Builders can now run and fully support their analysis environment, through use of high-performing machine resources that can be utilized to successfully launch tough deployments.

“Jaspersoft is making great progress beyond its core strength as a reporting and dashboard provider, delivering BI that is easier to connect and consume in a variety of data environments,” says Dave Simon, IT director for Sierra Club. “At the Sierra Club, we rely on Jaspersoft's robust OLAP engine and interactive interface to provide our users with insight into the data that influences how we do our work. The update to Jaspersoft 4, including the simple to use drag and drop interaction in the analysis environment, will give our user community a boost in their ability to interact with our data.”
