“The delivery of actionable information should not be limited to those companies that are able to splurge on their IT investments. The Pentaho open source alternative makes it possible to deliver enterprise class, scalable, information delivery platforms to even those companies with moderate IT budgets” said Samir Dadia, Managing Director, Saama Technologies, India. “With our experience of having delivered quality solutions to our customers in the US using Pentaho products, we already possess the required expertise for servicing the requirements of organizations in India which have invested, or are looking to invest, in the Pentaho platform” he said.
