Jaspersoft Translates European Roots Into Commercial Success Across the Region


PARIS, September 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- New customers, partners represent Jaspersoft's growth throughout 
Europe; company opens fifth European office in Paris

Jaspersoft Corporation, the market leader in open source business
intelligence (BI) and the world's most widely deployed BI software, today
announced a number of milestones representing its commercial success and
increasing priority on the European market. Recent customer deployments
include EnergySys Limited, INTECO and La SACEM, contributing to over 200
percent growth in subscriptions for Jaspersoft's Professional Edition
products in Europe. Jaspersoft today serves more than 9,000 customers in 96
countries worldwide.

For UK-based EnergySys, the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite is
powering its ENERGYSYS hydrocarbon allocation and production reporting
software. "By using Jaspersoft, we are confident in the most critical
component of our offering -- the reporting engine," said Peter Black,
Managing Director, EnergySys Ltd. "We needed best-in-class web delivery,
ad-hoc reporting, and the ability to support a broad customer base. There was
no question that Jaspersoft was our best option. It delivers on all of our
requirements."

The increased demand for its products across the region has prompted
Jaspersoft to open its fifth office in Europe. The new office will be in
Paris and complements locations already in Ireland, Italy, Romania and the
Ukraine. Jaspersoft's staff in Europe has more than doubled in the last year
and today includes people working in engineering, sales and marketing,
technical support, and professional services. In addition to its direct
representatives, Jaspersoft has also added over a dozen reseller and
consulting services partners in Europe, including Business & Decisions,
EXAConsult and Micropole Univers.

Christoph Eckl, Managing Director of INTECO GmbH, a leading project
management solution provider, said, "Jaspersoft's BI solution complements
Primavera's project management suite perfectly, especially concerning
reporting in heterogenous environments. The system offers any component
needed in reporting. Moreover, Jaspersoft offers professional support that
several members of our team have taken advantage of to deliver excellent
services based on Jasper technology to our users."

"We chose Jaspersoft because it is open source and adjustable to our
needs. It integrates into our enterprise with no trouble at all," said Jerome
Duchemin, manager of Architecture and Method at La SACEM 
(http://www.sacem.fr), the French-based company focused on musical authors' 
rights management. "Also, Jaspersoft offers us better core technology than 
other solutions we assessed and demonstrated its robustness in the very first 
proof of concepts."

The company today is also announcing the availability of Jaspersoft v3,
the company's business intelligence suite, in French, German and Spanish. The
release marks a major milestone for open source BI software by providing rich
enterprise-class functionality delivered through state-of-the-art interactive
Web 2.0 interfaces. To download in your preferred language, please visit:

"Europe continues to lead all other regions in its downloads of
Jaspersoft products, and we see this translating into more and more
commercial success throughout the region," said Brian Gentile, CEO of
Jaspersoft. "The European market has always led the world in open source
adoption, especially in government and universities, but today we see it
spreading into a variety of market sectors including both large and
mid-market enterprises. Jaspersoft is dedicated to working with our community
and partners to offer the very best business intelligence functionality,
value and support for all of our European customers."

Jaspersoft's story began in Europe where technical visionary Teodor
Danciu founded and built the JasperReports library, the world's most popular
open source reporting tool. Today, Jaspersoft's Community Edition, the most
widely deployed open source BI solution in the world, is downloaded more
often in Europe than any other region in the world, representing more than
one-third of all downloads worldwide.

To support its growing community, Jaspersoft in July announced its new
community collaboration platform, JasperForge. The new Forge, developed with
Essentia, offers new tools that meet the evolving needs of the largest open
source BI community in the world. More than 300 projects today are hosted on
the site, including 26 European language projects.

Jaspersoft today is also announcing an extended partnership with open
source data integration company Talend. The partnership will result in
Jaspersoft-specific packaging of Talend's products that is uniquely suited
for business intelligence customers. More information on this announcement
