Pentaho BI Platform and Server

Welcome to the community home for Pentaho BI Platform Community Edition (CE). The Pentaho BI Platform provides the architecture and infrastructure required to build solutions to business intelligence (BI) problems. The framework provides core services including authentication, logging, auditing, web services, and rules engines. The platform also includes a solution engine that integrates reporting, analysis, dashboards and data mining components. The modular design and plugin based architecture allows all or part of the platform to be embedded into third party applications by end users as well as OEMs.

The most well known implementation of the BI Platform is the Pentaho BI Server which functions as a web based report management system, application integration server and lightweight workflow engine (action sequences.) It is designed to be easily integrated into any business processes.

Community Edition is self supported open source software. An Enterprise Edition (EE) of the Pentaho BI Platform is available as part of the Pentaho BI Suite EE which includes technical support, managed upgrades and enterprise features. For more information about EE or for demos and datasheets, visit Pentaho BI Suite EE on Pentaho's corporate site.

Stable

Pentaho BI Server 3.9.0 stable (BI Suite 4.0)
This is a stable build of Pentaho BI Server and Pentaho BI Suite client tools. It is a minor release including new features, bug fixes and integrates the latest stable versions of the engines from the other Pentaho projects.

Note: The version numbers for the individual applications that make up the BI Suite 4.0 have not been synchronized to 4.0 for this release. The BI Server version for BI Suite 4.0 is actually 3.9.0. Sorry for any confusion.
