MySQL builds BI into its stack

TAGS: Open Source

MySQL and JasperSoft today announced a new OEM relationship. In fact, I think it's the first OEM deal that MySQL has done (InnoDB excepted). Is this a new trend for MySQL? For JasperSoft?

Here's the deal:

[The two companies announced the] availability of Jasper for MySQL: OEM Edition, a suite of operational reporting products that includes a high-performance interactive report server, a graphical report creation tool, and a pixel-perfect reporting system with dashboards, tables, crosstabs and charts.

The two companies have signed a joint reseller agreement that allows MySQL to offer the new product to its commercial ISV and OEM customers. JasperSoft will also have the right to resell MySQL's database solutions as part of the JasperSoft Business Intelligence Suite.

With Jasper for MySQL, OEMs and ISVs building MySQL-based products can now deliver built-in reporting. Developers can create, store, schedule, distribute, share, drill-down and interact with reports. Developers also get the ability to deliver Web-based ad hoc reporting.

This is a great addition to the MySQL arsenal, and a great partner for them. (And to think it happened without the OSA. ;-) It's precisely the sort of incremental add-on - for both companies - that enterprises want.

Good work for both companies.
