The Leader in Open Source Business Intelligence Solutions

OpenBI helps clients bring intelligence to their business strategies and operations through the integration of open source business intelligence (OSBI) technologies. We start by understanding your business drivers, focusing on critical decision processes and their attendant performance metrics. We then identify the necessary reporting/analytical applications and data integration investments  to guarantee success. Next, we provide pragmatic solution recommendations that reflect your existing BI investments and organizational capabilities. Finally, we provide development and integration assistance to ensure that your solution endures.

Veteran Expertise
Our leadership team has over 80 years of combined business technology services experience, primarily in business intelligence. We have collectively established a professional reputation for high quality service, professional and personal integrity, and unwavering commitment to our clients. When you engage with OpenBI, rest assured we’re obsessed with your success.

Affordable, High Quality Solutions
The high cost of current BI deployments can be traced to the pernicious combination of per-user software pricing and proprietary, best-of-breed technology integration. Although the quality of proprietary solutions has improved significantly over the past decade, the pace of innovation is decelerating. As a result, OSBI technologies are catching up, and in many cases are surpassing the quality of proprietary alternatives.
A typical BI environment is composed of an ETL tool like Informatica, a database such as Oracle, a query and reporting tool like BusinessObjects, an OLAP engine like Essbase or Cognos, and an analytics tool like SAS. The cost of purchasing and integrating these software components can easily run over $1MM in initial software licensing, with ongoing maintenance contracts surpassing $200k/year. An OS-based solution can be delivered at a fraction of this cost, with similar, if not better, functionality.

Open & Proprietary Integration
OpenBI is committed to providing our clients with the expertise to make educated decisions regarding the use of OSBI technologies. We focus on reducing any risk associated with utilizing open source, while simultaneously decreasing the time to benefit through pre-fabricated OSBI frameworks and, if appropriate, Cloud-based deployments. We work all of this within your existing technical environment and appetite for innovation. By finding the right combination of OS and proprietary technologies, we can help you achieve immediate financial savings while ensuring long-term platform viability.
