LAS VEGAS, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TDWI 2012 Conference -- Jaspersoft, maker of the world's most widely used business intelligence (BI) software, today announced an upgraded original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement with Talend to include native connectors to Apache Hadoop Big Data environments in Jaspersoft ETL. With this enhanced ETL offering, Jaspersoft uniquely offers CIOs, data scientists, and BI Builders the flexibility of three options to harness Big Data: direct reporting, direct real-time analysis, and batch analysis through ETL data mart access.

Big Data sets can traditionally take data scientists hours to extract, transform, and load. Jaspersoft ETL significantly shortens the time it takes to connect to Big Data environments, eliminating the latency of other solutions and allowing insights to be uncovered faster than ever before. Jaspersoft ETL is available as part of Jaspersoft BI Suite 4.5, which turns data into actionable information by massively scaling the amount of data enterprise IT and developers can handle and move at one time. By integrating Talend into the Jaspersoft BI Suite, BI Builders can now support all Big Data use cases:

• Providing business users with summary reports and dashboards while analysts can explore data directly inside the Big Data store without having to move it to a relational database format;
• Enabling data scientists native access to MPP analytic databases, NoSQL data stores, and Hadoop Hive and HBase;
• Delivering batch and real-time reporting and analysis of Big Data within a complete BI suite which includes ETL, reporting, dashboarding and analysis; and
• Efficiently processing the breadth of Big Data types which require advanced transformation and loading technologies across a broad spectrum of latencies – from sub-second to scheduled batches and everything in between – enabling fast connectivity to a variety of sources, storage technologies, locations and owners.

"Today's data scientists want options to explore data faster. The Jaspersoft BI Suite with enhanced ETL capabilities for Big Data enables efficient data exploration for a faster generation of reports and better decision-making," said Karl Van den Bergh, Jaspersoft's Vice President of Product and Alliances. "Jaspersoft's new OEM agreement continues our great partnership with Talend to provide the best BI solution in the market for Big Data."

"We are extremely pleased to extend our partnership with Jaspersoft," said Keith Goldstein, Vice President Worldwide Channels and Alliances for Talend. "They are ahead of the market in terms of their support for Big Data, which brings key benefits to our joint customers in helping them to produce cost-effective reports, dashboards and analysis quickly and easily."
