During our search process we came across three companies in particular that carry a nice product line of open source business intelligence products, these companies are Actuate, Jaspersoft and Pentaho. Out the three companies, Actuate was the only that stood out in terms of having an avid community of developers that help keep their open source software top of the line. Given this fact, we decided to try out Actuate BIRT and downloaded the trial version of their software. We are still in the evaluation phase of the software but find it very easy to use and straight forward. We have had no trouble generating reports and creating valuable data visualizations that we can use to collaborate and use for quick decision making. Overall, we are quite impressed but still need to try out the other two open source vendors in the market place before making a final decision.
