Rapid Insight upgrades BI software
Rapid Insight has upgraded its business intelligence (BI) software product, Veera, to create reports, perform ad hoc analysis, and create analytic processes, reveals CBR.
The company, a provider of business intelligence and automated predictive analytics software, said that the Veera's drag-and-drop analytic process builder is powered by Dataflo3G technology.
It allows users to produce reports and create analytic datasets by merging, aggregating, cleansing, and transforming data from formats from Excel, Access, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and text.
Sabre, TRX partner on BI tool
Sabre has linked up with TRX to offer Sabre Red subscribers what it claims is the first BI tool of its kind in the market, states Travolution.
Martin Cowley, senior VP for Sabre Travel Network EMEA, told Travolution that TRX's TravelTrax product would interpret data from Sabre's warehouse and present the information in a graphical and user-friendly way for agency and corporate customers.
Sabre's data warehouse includes real-time prices, as well as historical price trends dating back three years.
Open source BI scrutinised
Market research company, Forrester, has compared a number of open source BI products and has found some significant differences, says The H.
One major finding was that where community versions of commercial enterprise products are available the community versions often offer considerably less than the paid-for version.
This is particularly noticeable in the case of business intelligence and reporting tools (BIRT). Whereas the paid-for Actuate BIRT leads the field for reporting, the open source version, Eclipse BIRT, is just a collection of components unsuited for enterprise use.
