What is Business Intelligence?
Business Intelligence is the process of transforming the business data into Information/Knowledge using computer
based techniques thus enabling the users to take effective fact based decisions
Business Intelligence
Information /Knowledge Decision
Business Data

Business Intelligence: Concept
Business Intelligence is in place from last few decades
 Its primary job was more around structured data which used to be integrated at Data Warehouse (DWH)
 With the time and evolving technologies, BI has been evolved to cater to the disruptive data growth
 BI can crunch enormous structured/unstructured data to help identify or create strategic business
opportunities
 BI essentially is intended for the following 3 things:
1. Precise and concise interpretation of (voluminous) data
2. Identifying new opportunities
3. Implementing an effective strategy to have competitive edge

Business Intelligence Stack
ETL
 Metadata Management
 Analytics
Operational Reporting
 Dashboards
Governance/Monitoring

Business Intelligence: Need of the time
In today’s growing global competition, business market poses following questions to business leaders.
How can I ensure to
retain/improve ROI of
my business?
End to End BI Solution
ETL
Q What would be my insightful decision based on ocean of data? How quick can I
take decision based on that huge data?
Q How can I integrate heterogeneous data feeds to common platform to analyse
it further?
Q How to interpret raw data in best possible manner? Data Discovery, Analytics
Q Can I predict the future of my business trajectory? Predictive Analytics, Machine
Learning
Q What is the best way to share the data? Visualization, Reporting
Q How can I monitor the dynamics of changing trends? Dashboard

Business Intelligence: Existing Solutions
There are various BI vendors offering end-to-end solutions in the market which can be traditionally classified as:
Large BI Vendors New Breed

Business Intelligence: Existing Challenges
 With existing solutions, you can get the problems addressed but there are many challenges you will have to face
» Integration time
» Infrastructure cost
» Maintenance cost
» Licensing cost
» Single platform

How will I solve
all these
challenges?
Peter, the Java Developer is trying to address those challenges.

 Pentaho has its
presence in all the
three layers with
respective products
mentioned in the
diagram
 It supports a
hosted solution

Pentaho Stack: Diving Deeper Continues…
Having gone through different layers and after understanding various
offerings of Pentaho in those areas, lets look at individual Pentaho
products in the next slides...

Pentaho BA Server (Server Layer)
 Runs on localhost:8080

This is a platform recently renamed from BI to BA, makes up a core software piece on server
side with following features
Hosts content created in the server itself through plug-ins or file is published to the server
from the desktop applications
 Manages security
 Running reports
 Displaying/Designing dashboard
 Report bursting
 OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) analysis
 Mondrian with MDX support
 Pentaho Report Designer (CDE for CE)

 Pentaho Analyzer (Saiku)
 Scheduling and Monitoring
 Can be extended with commercial as well as open source (Ctools) plug-ins
 Runs by default on Apache Tomcat but can be embedded in any Java based application server
 This comes in two flavors: Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE)

What is Reporting?
 Regular provision of information (Visualization of filtered data)
 Derived from historical data (Base data)
 For decision makers (Decision)

Pentaho Report Designer (Design Tool)
Pentaho Report Designer (PRD) is a pixel level accurate reporting tool. It is open source containing rich set of features
as listed below:
 Rich GUI
 Allows to create relational and analytics reports from wide range of data sources
 It supports sub-reports, charts and graphs
 Supports API based reporting
 Pentaho Reporting Engine (PRE) executes the report designed by PRD

name. Its intended for Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) mainly.
This consists of
 DI Server (Server Application)
» Core component
» Executes jobs and transformations using pdi engine
» Has default user and role based security. It can also be integrated with
existing LDAP/Active Directory security provider
 Design Tools (Standalone)
» Spoon
» Kitchen
» Pan
» Carte
 Data Connections

 Open source OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) server written on pure java
 Supports MDX (Multi-Dimensional eXpression) query language
 Mondrian schema is universal metadata descriptor supported by almost any OLAP client tool

Dashboard Capability
One can create charts containing KPI’s and publish them in a dashboard on BA server to share with broader audience
 There could be several ways to build Dashboard
» Pentaho Dashboard Designer available only in EE
» Community Dashboard Editor (CDE) is community edition and comes under ctools plugin
» Saiku plugin (EE)
We will be using CDE which has come to Pentaho after its aquision of Webdetails
 CDE can be integrated with Pentaho BA server (CE/EE) from market place
This is based on common framework CDF and it simplifies creation, edition and rendering of CTools dashboards
 You can also use custom CSS to get your own look and feel

Dashboard Capability: Sample Screenshot

Demo

Pentaho Case Study: Lufthansa
Business Challenge:
This Global Aviation company wanted to build a solution to make their core process of Inter Airline Through Check In
(IATCI) measurable, accessible and available real time for operational monitoring through dashboard
Pentaho Solution:
 Pentaho Business Analytics: Real time data analysis and report generation
 Pentaho Data Integration: Data extraction, transformation and loading
 Pentaho is installed on a standalone 16 core machine with backend powered by MySQL

Pentaho Case Study: Lufthansa
Value Added:
 Lufthansa will be able to aggregate and feed data into a management cockpit to analyze collected data for
key decision-making purposes
 Management now receives instant notification of transmission errors, enabling the company to detect
patterns on large amounts of data in real-time
 Partner airlines also receive alerts in the case of transmission errors between different IT systems for
passenger data
 Lufthansa is able to comprehensively monitor one of its most important core processes in real-time for
quality management: the transfer of passenger data between different airlines
