Add Powerful Reporting, Dashboarding And Analytics To Hosted Solutions

There are two kinds of hosted, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions: those that offer powerful, easy-to-use reporting, dashboarding and analytics … and those that need to.

But companies rushing to bring SaaS solutions to market often learn the hard way that developing compelling Business Intelligence (BI) functionality can be a costly, time-consuming distraction from a development team’s core mission.

That’s why so many SaaS application providers, along with enterprises building cloud-based applications, turn to Jaspersoft, creator of the first SaaS-enabling BI platform. This easy-to-integrate BI suite lets your development team quickly and easily add pixel-perfect reports, drag-and-drop queries and reports, dashboards complete with “twinkling” alerts and high-powered analytics to your solution. Jaspersoft BI adds value—but not complexity—to your product offering.

Powerful, flexible, and fully open.

Straightforward, extensible APIs and process flow features simplify integration and customization, easily adapting to your hosted solution’s unique look and BI requirements for a seamless user experience, while its Web 2.0-style user interface can make your solution even more attractive and capable.

Low-cost.

While you’re making your SaaS or cloud solution more appealing and delivering more value to customers, you’re also keeping costs down, with flexible licensing that lets you pay just for what you need to include, without the complication of per-seat licensing costs. Getting started costs nothing, and you’ll use only a fraction of the time and money you’d spend developing similar functionality in-house.

Bottom line: embedding Jaspersoft Business Intelligence means shorter time-to-market, greater ROI, and … a better bottom line.

"New prospects see the dashboards, the drag-and-drop ad hoc query, and aesthetics, and say: ‘Wow. We didn’t know you guys could do this.’ And it’s getting us new business – lots of it.”

—Bruce S. Belvin, Monolith Software Solutions, Inc.
