New Commercial Community Editions Provide Professional Subscription Options and Expanded Platform Support
AVA ONE CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO (May 09, 2007) –
JasperSoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today announced the general availability of three new commercial open source reporting products: JasperReports Professional Edition, JasperReports Developer Edition, and JasperStudio Professional Edition. The products provide commercial quality and fully supported report building tools, including the ability to add web reports, pixel-perfect print-ready reports, executive dashboards, tables, crosstabs, and charts to other applications.
The new products are built on JasperReports, the world’s most widely deployed open source reporting library and iReport, an open source graphical report designer with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Winner of this year’s Duke’s Choice Award from Sun Microsystems, JasperReports and its companionate suite of open source BI products will be showcased at the JasperSoft booth, #1336, in the Java Playground at the JavaOne Pavilion.
Downloads of JasperReports and related products have been doubling every year for the past three years, surpassing 2 million downloads in early 2007 and creating a market for the new premium professional versions. JasperSoft’s Professional products include premium-level documentation, commercial licenses, advanced support options, increased platform and application support, and a managed release cycle.
“JasperSoft’s commercial open source business model allows us to meet the needs of both the open source community and the commercial developer with high quality open source BI and reporting products that offer flexibility, functionality, and value that proprietary BI vendors are failing to deliver,” said Paul Doscher, CEO of JasperSoft. “Our new Professional editions give customers enterprise-class support, documentation, and compatibility so that they can enjoy the tremendous value of the world’s best open source BI products and be confident that their investment of time and resources will bring them a rapid return.”
JasperReports Professional Edition and JasperReports Developer Edition provide a powerful Java reporting library that enables rapid creation of any kind of report, including highly complex pixel-perfect layouts.
JasperStudio Professional, powered by iReport, is a powerful and intuitive graphical report designer that enables reports to be built, tested, and run from the desktop. JasperStudio includes an optional plug-in for the Eclipse IDE, and can be used to create reports for the JasperServer interactive report server and for Jasper4Salesforce, the advanced on demand reporting solution for salesforce.com.
The extended features of JasperReports Professional Edition, JasperStudio Professional Edition, and JasperReports Developer Edition include:
