Annual award celebrates 100 IT organizations that demonstrate most creative use of cutting-edge technologies to enhance business goals
SAN FRANCISCO (November 18, 2008) –
Jaspersoft Corporation, the world’s most widely deployed business intelligence (BI) software, today announced it has been named to the 2008 InfoWorld 100 for its breakthrough open source community platform, JasperForge.
Chosen annually by InfoWorld’s editorial staff, the InfoWorld 100 recognizes companies that have successfully integrated and implemented cutting-edge technologies to achieve concrete business goals.
“We are delighted that InfoWorld has recognized JasperForge among other community forums for its ability to foster a new level of collaboration,” Jaspersoft CEO, Brian Gentile. “As home to the world’s largest BI community, we have both the strong commitment to and responsibility for providing our customers and developers with the most advanced platform for collaboration and support, and JasperForge is exactly that.”
Jaspersoft this year embarked on a groundbreaking process to build a new collaboration platform for the world’s largest Business Intelligence (BI) community. Having been one of the original open source software companies to provide a “Forge” for its community, Jaspersoft realized that the open source community was evolving – from one that included only developers to one that also involved business managers, c-level executives, and others.
JasperForge is a next-generation open source community platform that supports more than 89,000 registered community members. The new Forge was unveiled in July 2008 and showcases Jaspersoft’s integration of Web 2.0 tools and EssentiaESP, a breakthrough platform developed by Essentia.
