Why FOSS in Business Intelligence ?

� The project is more important than the product, but the products costs more than the project

� BI products do not avoid project costs

� BI products are often under-used

� Slow cultural progress due to costs for research and experiments

� Focus and investment on projects

� Targeted investments, right measure (product and usage)

� Investments protection

� Experiments, R&I

� Avoid constraints

� Low TCO

� No Lock-in

� Low cost extensibility

� Low cost scalability

� On time evolution

� Increase of users, not of costs
