All,
The OpenOffice.org community is pleased to announce plans to extend
the power of the database application, Base, with Report Designer,
based on Pentaho's open-source reporting engine. [0] Scheduled to be
available in the next feature release of OpenOffice.org, Report
Designer will particularly interest business users, as it will give
them the ability to create sophisticated business intelligence
reports from various sources, including OLAP and XML, and save them
using the OASIS OpenDocument format, or ODF, the ISO-approved open
standard for file format, among others.
The collaboration between Pentaho and OpenOffice.org proves once
again the strength not only of open source but of open standards.
Unlike with proprietary applications, there are no encumbrances to
getting things done, for users and developers. OpenOffice.org works
for businesses.
