The Pentaho BI Project is open source application software for enterprise reporting, analysis, dashboard, data mining, workflow and ETL capabilities for business intelligence needs.
The BI Suite Community Edition is intended for: Business intelligence aficionados, open source software programmers, early adopters, and college students.
This software can be used as a full suite or as individual components that are accessible via web services.

- Reporting – an advanced report creation tool.
- Design Studio – an Eclipse-based tool that enables users to hand-edit a report or analysis view xaction file.
