Through the partnership, the companies will work together to ensure ongoing integration of key product lines, as well as support the technology integration with joint sales and marketing activities aimed at the business intelligence market.

Pentaho's BI capabilities, coupled with the Ingres database, can be used by organizations to address many different business challenges. For example, organizations can use Pentaho's operational reporting capabilities running directly against Ingres-based operational systems for real-time operational reporting. Other organizations that need an integrated view of the business spanning multiple systems can use Pentaho's extract, transform, and load (ETL) capabilities to integrate data from multiple ERP and operational systems into a data warehouse running the Ingres database. Business users can take advantage of Pentaho Dashboards and Pentaho Analysis to turn information from their Ingres databases into rich, interactive dashboards and sophisticated analytic views.
