Agile BI with SpagoBI, the only 100% open source, complete and flexible business intelligence suite

SpagoBI suite allows the agile development of Business Intelligence applications, guaranteeing quick development, flexibility and continuous improvement. An agile approach reduces the time for production and guarantees high flexibility for end users, who are directly involved in the production phase. This allows them to play an active role in the production phase, thanks to the tools provided by SpagoBI suite.

Applying the agile methodologies to the Business Intelligence domain and to its development process means starting a value-adding iterative cycle, allowing to rapidly set and change the data access methods and analysis definition. This fosters the effective exchange of information between the development team and the end users, allowing them to start using the product in a short time.

Agile BI with SpagoBI: how to use

Think

• By using SpagoBI Meta, you can quickly define your data domain, without having any specific technical knowledge. Build your Busines Model and use it either on a DataWarehouse or on OLTP systems! At an early stage, this allows you not to design and develop any DataWarehouse and ETL systems.

Build

• Deploy your Business Model into SpagoBI Server and start to use it right away, querying it through a visual query builder which avoids you facing the complexity of data structures.

Use & Share

• Each query can evolve into a multi-sheet report (such as MS-excel) through a simple wizard, which allows end users to define simple, cross tables and various types of graphs.
• Each multi-sheet report can be stored in some dedicated folders located in the central repository, in order to allow their future use, or to share them with other users or with SpagoBI team members.
• Each report can be integrated with notes and business metadata. They facilitate the understanding of the report itself, enrich it with new information and provide the development team with the needed information for further implementations.

Satisfy your data analysis requirements in a click with SpagoBI

• In a few minutes, the end user can validate and use his/her new analysis, without having specific technical knowledge.
• SpagoBI developer can directly interact with the end user through SpagoBI community tools, to go on to a possible implementation of the analysis, which are defined by the end user both from a graphical and a functional point of view.
• The Business Model encourages future iteractions, with easy-to-manage variations and a low impact.
  

Self-service BI, besides ad-hoc reporting

The ad-hoc reporting allows end users to create multi-sheet reports by means of simple tables, cross tables and various types of graphs.
Thanks to the Agile BI, end users can quickly get software prototypes and perform complete data analysis by themselves, developing a real self-service BI solution.
