Boats.com Unleashes the Power of Its Data Using Open Source Business Intelligence

Tags: business intelligence, open source, database, data warehouse, data

Overview YachtWorld.com and Boats.com required a flexible, highly-scalable, maintainable market intelligence solution that could bring together all the data, and present the information in an easy to use format. The final challenge - the solution needed to be built within a reasonable budget. The envisioned market intelligence product required a centralized data warehouse from which users could perform sophisticated analysis based on cubes, dashboards, and reports. Both open source and proprietary database and business intelligence solutions were considered during the selection process. MySQL was chosen as the database engine; the Pentaho business intelligence suite was chosen to provide Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and analysis/ reporting functionality.
