“All organisations deploy reporting software in one way
or another. Reporting is regarded as a central part of business
intelligence.

“A business intelligence platform includes three layers: a
database layer, a business intelligence layer, and an
analytics/performance management layer.

“Linux and business intelligence are a good match in part
because Linux has powerful toolkits for interacting with other
systems, with open source databases (such as MySQL) to act as the
data source.

“This article highlights the best business intelligence software
that runs under Linux. Although there is not a wide range
available, all of the applications featured below are strongly
recommended for any business which wants to access, format and
deliver information to their staff, their customers, and their
commercial partners.

“Now, let’s explore the 8 business intelligence software at
hand. For each title we have compiled its own portal page,
providing a screenshot of the software in action, a full
description with an in-depth analysis of its features, together
with links to relevant resources and reviews.”
