Liferay and Pentaho Announce Technology Partnership

Liferay and Pentaho Corp. announced a technology partnership to enhance integration between their product lines. By working together, Liferay and Pentaho will leverage standards to simplify deployment for enterprise organizations looking to leverage commercial open source software to securely enable access to BI content as part of an overall enterprise portal strategy. Portals provide a framework to integrate business intelligence with other enterprise applications and content. An enterprise portal framework helps deliver the benefits of business intelligence to large numbers of users, while enhancing BI with application context, integrated collaboration, and a multi-application user interface. Portals can also make it easier for users to create personalized views of information, including dashboards that integrate BI with other enterprise content. Pentaho and Liferay both support the JSR-168 portal integration standard. The companies are planning to work together to make integrated deployment even easier with minimal customization and configuration effort. The next phase of integration is expected to be delivered in Q1 of 2008. http://www.liferay.com, http://www.pentaho.com
