Pilot Programs

The Fastest Route to Operational BI

Are you facing time and/or resource constraints and training and prototyping aren't enough? To get to a working TIBCO Jaspersoft® software implementation with the core BI functionality, consider the Jaspersoft® Pilot Program.

During a two to six-week engagement, a Jaspersoft professional services consultant will collaborate with your team to develop a working, end-to-end implementation of the Jaspersoft BI platform.

"The time that we spent with [the Jaspersoft Consultant] was invaluable. We have things actually working now using our reports in a development environment. We are very encouraged and looking forward to implementing changes in our production environment."

--Mark Walls, COO, Illuminate ED

• Perform a report specification collection workshop.
• Develop three simple reports either from scratch or from designs of existing reports.
• Develop one intermediate complexity report either from scratch or from designs of existing reports.
• Create two dashboard-only reports containing a graph.
• Create up to two dashboards combining the reports created during the pilot and mash-up materials already available on the Internet or corporate intranet.
• Create a company-specific theme using the customer's logo and corporate colors.
