July 2008 Meeting

WHEN: Wed 9th July 2008 - 6.00pm
WHO: Zachary Zeus
WHAT: Open Source Business Intelligence with Pentaho
WHERE: PeopleBank offices, 7-9 Moore Street, Canberra City

It’s an all-too-common scenario: an organisation with important data scattered across a multitude of different databases, spreadsheets and other sources. If only you could co-relate, compare and visualise this information, to give you an idea of where your company is actually headed! Enter the concept of business intelligence (BI).

BI has for a long time been considered to be an expensive luxury (and competitive advantage) for only the wealthiest of corporations. Given recent market consolidation, you’d be forgiven for concluding that this was set to become even more entrenched.

Enter Pentaho. Pentaho offers a completely open source, open standards BI stack that is enterprise-ready and accessible to everyone. Zachary Zeus will walk you through the main components of Pentaho:

BI platform
Reporting
Ad-hoc reporting
Analysis (OLAP)
Dashboards
Data Integration (ETL)
Data mining

As ususal the meeting will start at 6pm at PeopleBank offices, 7-9 Moore Street in Canberra. See you there. Put it in your diary NOW!

Notes for Attending Monthly Meetings

Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at the PeopleBank offices, 7-9 Moore Street in Canberra. Please check this site before every meeting as we occasionally meet at other venues to cater for larger numbers.
