After some time off from my little open source software blog, I'm back. My involvement in open source goes back to about 2006, and for a majority of the last six years I've been interested in mainly application development components such as JBoss, Spring, Hibernate, etc. and CMS/ECM platforms such as Liferay, Drupal, and Alfresco.
However, having some data quality, MDM, ETL, BI, and data warehousing experience dating back to the late 90's and early 2000's, I have spent some time this year catching up with open source BI and data warehousing tools.
I've known about Pentaho, JasperSoft, BIRT (Actuate), and Talend over the last six years, but there's a surprising lack of good online content you can search on that is current. I plan on posting what good information and web links that I find on here going forward.
Xtivia has been in the data management & data warehousing space for about 20 years, and has traditionally used technology from Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Informatica, MicroStrategy, and their acquired firms for a long time, but we feel the open source alternatives have matured and should be part of the product portfolio used by our clients.
I'm looking forward to passing along new relevant information for those who find my site! Email me and I'll set up a call with our DW practice director to brainstorm on this topic!
