ParAccel and Pentaho announced a partnership to deliver an extremely high performance, integrated database platform and BI environment for analytic applications. The integration of the ParAccel Analytic Database and Pentaho's comprehensive BI suite will provide organizations with a cost-effective, end-to-end solution for analyzing and reporting on business-critical information at record-breaking speeds, leading to faster and more optimized decision-making. 

The ParAccel Analytic Database uses a columnar approach with massively parallel processing and patent-pending performance techniques to deliver performance and price-performance gains over other database management systems. The Pentaho Open BI Suite provides a full spectrum of business intelligence (BI) capabilities including reporting, analysis, dashboards, data mining and data integration, and a BI platform, that have made it the world's most popular open source BI suite. 

“For BI to become more pervasive within organizations, price-performance must continue to improve,” said Mark Madsen, president of Third Nature, a leading IT consultancy specializing in BI and information delivery. “At the same time, we also need to see a decrease in overall system complexity. This partnership between ParAccel and Pentaho has the promise to deliver a compelling analysis and reporting solution that combines extremely high performance with ease of use and low cost,” Madsen said.  

“It is a business imperative to make data available to a wider range of knowledge workers for detailed analysis and reporting, even as the amount of enterprise data continues to skyrocket,” said ParAccel Vice President of Business Development Tim Milovich. “Together with Pentaho, we will deliver a comprehensive, affordable, yet extremely high performance solution for complex data analysis to help companies gain – or maintain – competitive advantage through keen business insights.”

Added Erik Hoogerhuis, vice president of Business Development at Pentaho, “Making world-class BI affordable so that more data is available to more users in a simple, efficient manner is the Pentaho mission. The ParAccel Analytic Database is highly complementary with the Pentaho BI suite and will help enhance our customers' business results by delivering an extremely fast-yet-simple database platform for analytic queries.”
