Every day huge amounts of data are produced from from a number of different sources such as databases, web services, sensors, smartphones and other devices which makes managing data from multiple sources a rising challenge for today's businesses.

The Need
It is immediately clear how strategically sound it is to have a unique open source business intelligence tool that can easily connect to any data source, process the continuous streams of data, raise its capacity when necessary and to absorb and adapt to peak data production as well as to simply react to the natural growth of information produced.
It's not always easy to choose the right tool. Often, the tools with the right capabilities have high costs or are too complex to use. Less expensive tools are likely to have limitations or inefficient support in case of malfunctions.
