Open Source BI Helps in Economic Crisis, BizCubed Increases Pentaho Support

Business Intelligence consultants expect more interest in open source, open standards BI software in times of economic downturn. As companies try to save money, open source BI proves an effective alternative to expensive proprietary software. Lower IT spending not only delivers immediate savings but also secures higher competitiveness in the long term.

SYDNEY, NSW (BizCubed) JANUARY 19, 2009 - BizCubed, the premier Australian Pentaho partner and BI consulting company, announced additional Pentaho training courses, reduced course costs in Australian dollars and Pentaho introduction packages to support companies during the economic crisis. Pentaho is the commercial open source, open standards alternative for business intelligence (BI), suitable to support global enterprises as well as small and medium business as a cost effective alternative to proprietary software.
BI tools evaluate data to gain insights into the business, detect inefficiencies and highlight potential opportunities for businesses, enabling better understanding and control. One of the major benefits of open source BI alternatives is that their results can be seen quickly and effectively without the expensive licensing costs. Companies using open source BI solutions often get results without going through the capital expenditure process.
BizCubed lowers entry barriers into open source BI by offering inexpensive “Getting Started” packages. Additional training and support processes have been introduced, and training is now available at reduced prices. Companies that do not have large IT budgets but want to discover how they can benefit from business intelligence, as well as large companies looking for reductions in their IT costs, are encouraged to contact BizCubed to see how they can navigate strategically through these tough economic times.
If you sign up early for courses, the revised pricing is a third less then the USD based list price.
