Jasper counts to 15,000

Open source business intelligence solutions provider JasperSoft today reported the 15,000th download of Jasper Reports for SugarCRM, the first open source reporting engine for the SugarCRM Sugar Suite. Jasper Reports provides a library of preset reports that run with Sugar Suite, allowing the ability to generate customer interaction-based reports. JasperReports focuses on transactional reporting displayed in multiple visual formats including Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, PDF, and web-based.

The solution is available at www.sugarexchange.com. Jasper Soft for SugarCRM also provides Sugar Suite users a real-time reporting system for accessing and displaying information stored within Sugar Suite. JasperReports for SugarCRM promises seamless integration into existing IT infrastructure and communication with other third-party applications via HTTP or Java APIs. Data can be pulled from extant databases with JDBC, POJO, and XML. Due to the popularity of Jasper Reports, the product has been made a high-ranking SugarForge project and has earned the SugarForge Editor’s Pick and the Project of the Month awards in June.

In turn, the popularity of Jasper on SugarForge will give it the status of inaugural featured product once SugarExchange, SugarCRM’s new marketplace for Sugar Suite extensions, is released early next month. JasperSoft has also announced a webcast in joint co-production with SugarCRM entitled "Turning Data into Decisions." Jasper Soft for Sugar CRM will be on display at 6pm Greenwich Time on June 29. JasperSoft CTO Barry Klawans and SugarCRM VP of Worldwide Sales Lars Nordwall will host. San Francisco-based JasperSoft now boasts one million downloads and 10,000 corporate deployments in 200 countries, and touts its product as “the most widely used open source BI software in the world.”

The company’s Jasper Intelligence architecture is comprised of open source server, report design, analytics, and commercial software for scalable enterprise applications. Venture capital firms invested in JasperSoft include Morgenthaler Ventures, Doll Capital Management, Discovery Ventures, and Partech International. SugarCRM is a provider of commercial open source customer relationship management software for companies of all sizes, offering deployment options in on-demand, on-premise, and appliance-based formats.
