JasperSoft Partners with SugarCRM to Integrate Industry's Most Popular Open Source Business Intelligence and CRM Software Solutions



Jasper4SugarCRM Provides Advanced Reporting & Analysis for SugarCRM

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 3 -- SUGARCRM GLOBAL DEVELOPER CONFERENCE -- JasperSoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today announced Jasper4SugarCRM, a high- performance reporting and analysis BI solution optimized for use with the SugarCRM Sugar Suite. Jasper4SugarCRM delivers a set of standard prebuilt reports and dashboards, ad hoc query and report creation, OLAP analysis, a secure report management repository, report scheduling, report distribution, and integration interfaces for PHP, Web Services, Java, and C/C++.

Ideal for managing customer and sales data for workgroups, small businesses or even larger enterprises, Jasper4SugarCRM provides business users with both standard and ad hoc reporting and analysis that are optimized for SugarCRM. Ad hoc query and reporting leverages Web 2.0 technologies to provide a rich drag & drop interface from the web browser, and semantic reporting topics insulate business users from the complexities of the underlying database schema. Users only see the reports they are authorized to use and can select from multiple parameter prompts to retrieve the necessary data, and minimize the number of reports that need to be created and maintained. Integration with the powerful iReport graphical report design tool also extends the ability for advanced report design and deployment from the desktop by BI professionals, including the ability to create pixel-perfect ready-to- print operational reports. OLAP analysis provides a powerful web-based application for providing advanced data analysis including intuitive slice & dice, drill, filter, pivot, and visualization capabilities - enabling business users to discover trends, patterns, anomalies, and correlations in the data to make better business decisions.

"Jasper4SugarCRM brings the advanced functionality and flexibility of professionally supported open source BI to SugarCRM users," said Paul Doscher, CEO of JasperSoft. "JasperSoft and SugarCRM both recognize that organizations of all sizes need a simple, professionally supported, cost-effective web-based BI solution to better optimize customer and sales data company-wide."

SugarCRM has recently announced the availability of new modules for Sugar Suite including Project Management, Multi-Channel Marketing, Business Analytics, Customer Self-Service Portals and Knowledgebase capabilities. SugarCRM's open source architecture allows companies to easily customize and integrate customer-facing business processes in order to build and maintain profitable relationships. With Jasper4SugarCRM, users can generate reports to analyze customer relationships, marketing campaigns and projects in real-time.

"We built SugarCRM as a strong customer relationship management platform that would be easy for our customers to use and easy for our developer and partner community to extend," said John Roberts, co-founder and CEO of SugarCRM. "Reporting is an integral business process that complements SugarCRM's commercial open source CRM software. Jasper4SugarCRM delivers added functionality so our end users can better track, monitor, report and analyze their customer outreach and interactions."

Jasper4SugarCRM also provides:

-- SugarCRM RDBMS platform support, including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle;
-- Managed release cycles;
-- Support subscriptions;
-- Commercial license with warranties and indemnification.

Jasper4SugarCRM was developed as a result of the popular success of JasperReports for Sugar, a basic open source project for SugarCRM developers. Since its publication on SugarForge last year, JasperReports for Sugar has been downloaded more than 30,000 times.
