However, thanks to acquisitions, Pentaho Corp. has showed it is ready to embrace a more open world. Dave Vellante and George Gilbert, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, spoke with Pedro Martins, head of implementation at Pentaho, who revealed that open source isn’t dead at Pentaho thanks to its acquisition of his firm Webdetails. Leveraging Pentaho as a platform Martins company was a first to leverage Pentaho as a platform. However, he noticed that it was lacking good visualizations for the underlying engines to utilize. The copmany specialized in providing visualization solutions for Pentaho’s customers in the form of a plugin. Over time, their two philosophies and offerings were aligned well enough that Pentaho sought out and successfully acquired Webdetails, leaving Martins to lead Pentaho’s visualization team. Open source visualizations Martins feared that the open source nature of the company’s software after acquisition might be closed off, but instead Pentaho took a different approach. Rather than closing code, it began embracing the use of the community as a testing bed and leaving customers to remain “comfortable” with the accessibility of the code and their lack of suffering from the traditional problem of vendor lockin. This openness allows for an end proprietary product of great value to Pentaho’s customers and ultimately improved its ability to provide customers with fulfilling, meaningful and insightful visualizations. @theCUBE #PWorld15
