Pentaho's New Addition To The Family

As you will find out at some point today, Pentaho has bought Clear View from the now defunct LucidEra to bolster their Enterprise offerings and replace the old JPivot.

I've had a few people come to me today and ask where that leaves the PAT project, I would like to make clear in no uncertain terms, that whilst Clear View is an obvious JPivot upgrade, the fact it is only in the Enterprise version of the Pentaho Suite, and it is very closely tied in with Mondrian means that nothing has really changed for us in that regard. We are still looking to write what will become the best Analysis tool in the world (people think I'm joking when I say that..... I'm not), and whilst it can be tied into the Pentaho server, this will be available in the CE version and at the same time remain standalone so it can be shipped with databases and run without a Pentaho server installed.

So after all the screenshots you have seen and the webex on Wednesday, its most certainly full steam ahead for PAT and the project.
