AWS and Jaspersoft: A new way of looking at BI in the cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced cloud-based data warehousing, and Jaspersoft launched analytic services on the cloud in February 2013. Unlike traditional analytics projects that require initial and ongoing licensing and support, this disruptive offering has a utility-based pricing model that enables customers to effectively “pay by the drink” for analytics projects. Nucleus found early adopters were able to reduce risk, accelerate time to value for both pilot projects, and ongoing analytics operations. Nucleus found that companies moving from an on-premises analytics environment could reduce ongoing software costs by 60 to 70 percent.
