JasperSoft  and SpikeSource announced that SpikeSource will resell two JasperSoft BI solutions through their growing channel of solution providers. The solutions, the JasperServer Professional Spike Certified solution and JasperAnalysis Professional Spike Certified solution, are coupled with Spike Net services and support to ensure ongoing update and management of these applications.

SpikeSource solution providers will now have access to JasperSoft BI solutions that are optimized to run on tested and integrated SpikeSource infrastructure. They will be available to solution providers directly from SpikeSource, providing businesses with a tightly integrated, low-risk solution for running mission-critical open source business applications.

"Companies large and small are increasingly adopting open source for business intelligence applications as products such as JasperSoft mature and evolve to serve everyone from casual business users to business analysts and executives. Through our SpikeSource partnership, JasperSoft is making open source BI even easier to install, use, manage, and support," said Paul Doscher, CEO at JasperSoft.

"Many users already benefiting from SpikeSource services and solutions are requesting the ability to perform sophisticated reporting, query, and analytics with their data," said Joaquin Ruiz, vice president of product management and marketing at SpikeSource. "By working with JasperSoft, our rapidly growing network of solution providers can now offer end customers an affordable, proven open source BI solution."

The JasperServer Professional SpikeCertified solution is a BI server designed for operational and departmental reporting. It's a flexible and extensible solution for organizations to accelerate informed decision making across the entire company. Working as a standalone server or a web services reporting engine, it dramatically reduces the time required to build and deploy applications that need reports, enabling operational decision-makers access to data previously accessible only to upper management.

JasperAnalysis Professional Spike Certified Solution builds upon JasperServer Professional. It enables businesses to provide data analysis capabilities, also known as online analytical processing or OLAP, to users. It can be used to explore trends, patterns, anomalies, and correlations in data by allowing users to dynamically "slice and dice," pivot, filter, chart, drill-down, or roll-up a "cube" of data all in real-time.
