Smile est devenu depuis janvier 2008 un partenaire certifié de Pentaho. Pour plus d’informations sur les solutions décisionnelles open source, vous pouvez télécharger le livre blanc de Smile (dont je suis l’auteur) ou vous rendre à l’un des évenements organisés sur Paris.

Séminaire Intégration de données par Smile et Talend.

I’m just back from Smile’s seminar on open source BI solutions in Paris where I was giving, with Patrice Bertrand and Badr Chentouf, an overview of open source Business Intelligence solutions.

After a general presentation, we showed demos of major open source BI solutions and tools such as Pentaho, JasperServer, Talend Open Studio, Eclipse BIRT. Representatives of JasperSoft and Talend where also in the room to answer some technical or specific questions.

This is a picture of the room, after the seminar since I forgot to ask someone to take pictures during the presentations.

Anyway, the room was quite full, with over 80 people in it.

First feedbacks are very good and there was a lot of interest for these solutions from the audience.

This was the seminar subscription page, but that’s too late, sorry. For more information you may want to read this white paper, still from Smile -in French, subscription required-.

I’m having a Talend Open studio training today on the brand new 2.2.0 GA release. This release includes some nice new features such as advanced XML generation, export jobs as webservices, LDAP connectors, easy logging, automatic deployement on SpagoBI, etc.

One funny thing (hum) is that they are also hit by the update site issue of RCP 3.3 I have with ShareMedia (no update site listed in the update manager)

01 Informatique publie, dans son numéro du 06/04/2007, un dossier sur les solutions décisionnelles open source (Actu/l’évènement) : “Le décisionnel passe au tout intégré”.
J’y suis cité 5 fois, à propos des solutions Pentaho et SpagoBI.
