  • Actuate Unveils Android Interface for BIRT BI

    November 1, 2011 Alex Woodie

    Open source business intelligence software developer Actuate last week unveiled a new interface for the most popular open source mobile operating system on the planet, Android. BIRT Mobile enables users to consume reports, dashboards, and other BI content from the comfort of their Android phones and tablets.

    Actuate is a publicly traded company that develops the free and open source BIRT BI software. The company also sells ActuateOne, a commercial version of the Java-based BIRT that is supported by Actuate.

    ActuateOne has supported iOS-based mobile devices for some time with both BIRT and ActuateOne, but the availability of BIRT Mobile for Android is special because of the commonality of open source, according to Actuate president and CEO Pete Cittadini.

    “Our customers are demanding native Android support for BIRT,” Cittadini says in a press release. “Android, like BIRT, is widely used open source technology. As developers evaluate technologies to deploy mobile BI, BIRT is the logical choice.”

    BIRT Mobile gives users access to a range of BI content, including reports, KPIs, documents, dashboards, tables, graphs, charts, visualization, and maps. The Android client is interactive, Acutate says, and comes preloaded with demonstration dashboards.

    BIRT Mobile is a free product that works with the open source BIRT software, as well as ActuateOne. The software can display on mobile devices any content that can be served through the BIRT iServer. Customers running cloud-based BIRT environments (delivered as BIRT onDemand) can also use BIRT Mobile. In fact, BIRT Mobile comes preconfigured with a profile for BIRT onDemand.

    The software works with any open source Eclipse or Actuate BIRT content, and is compatible with enterprise deployments of Actuate 11 SP2 and higher, the company says. For more information, see www.actuate.com.

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
