Jaspersoft

Jaspersoft got its start when Romanian Java developer Teodor Danciu wanted to solve a problem: how does one embed reporting capability into an application? Looking first to what was already out there, Danciu found that existing software solutions either involved technical challenges when integrating with Java or were too expensive. He decided to build his own Java-based reporting engine and library. In 2001, Danciu posted his initial efforts on SourceForge, where they were enthusiastically received and refined. The next year, Italian Giulio Toffoli, a JasperReports user and member of the open source community, developed Jaspersoft iReport Designer, a visual report designer. Developers seeking easily embeddable reports immediately embraced both projects.
Today, Jaspersoft provides an extremely flexible, cost-effective and widely-deployed Business Intelligence (BI) Suite, enabling decision making through highly interactive, web-based reports, dashboards and analyses. Leveraging the commercial open source business model, Jaspersoft provides end-to-end BI capabilities at a fraction of the cost of other vendors.
The BI suite that includes JasperServer, a report server and business intelligence platform for developers and businesses; JasperAnalysis that provides Web-based online analytical processing capability to business users; JasperETL, a data integration platform for organizations; JasperStudio, a graphical report and dashboard design tool for developers and power-users; JasperReports, a Java reporting library for developers with flash-based geo-visualization and advanced charting capabilities; and JasperReports Server Professional, a reporting server for scheduling and distributing interactive reports.
Jaspersoft also offers packaged BI solutions for customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, and information technology applications, including Jasper4Salesforce that provides on-demand reporting for salesforce.com; Jasper for MySQL, which enables OEMs and ISVs to create, store, secure, schedule, distribute, share, drill-down, and interact with reports; and Jasper4Oracle E-Business suite that provides data integration, analytics, ad hoc drag and drop reporting, interactive reporting, and print-ready reporting for report designers and business users.
