Jaspersoft and AWS disrupt business analytics

SAN FRANCISCO, USA & LONDON, UK: Jaspersoft, the Intelligence Inside applications and business processes, announced the release of a Nucleus Research report validating how the utility-priced business analytics offered by Jaspersoft on Amazon Web Services (AWS) is disrupting the business analytics market.

According to the report - Amazon Web Services and Jaspersoft - A New Way of Looking at BI in the Cloud - companies moving from an on-premises SQL Server-based analytics environment could reduce ongoing software costs by 60 to 70 percent with the hourly utility-based pricing option of Jaspersoft through AWS Marketplace. In addition to reduced costs, the report found that early adopters of the Jaspersoft offering on AWS were able to accelerate time to value for pilot projects, proof of concepts and Enterprise production analytics operations.

"In analyzing the experiences of the Jaspersoft customers running on AWS and using Amazon Redshift, Nucleus found a number of key benefits including increased productivity, faster time to value, reduced risk, and lower cost," said Nina Sandy, principal analyst for Nucleus Research.

The report also found that customers of both Amazon Redshift and Jaspersoft saw more prevalent savings due to the pay-by-the-hour option. Jaspersoft offers its business intelligence server on AWS Marketplace starting at $0.48 per hour. Currently with 800 customers utilizing the offering in just nine months, the cloud-based offering also showed a shorter development time and lower cost of investment providing significantly reduced risk.
