Pentaho and OpenOffice.org announce partnership

All,

The OpenOffice.org community is pleased to announce plans to extend  
the power of the database application, Base, with Report Designer,  
based on Pentaho's open-source reporting engine. [0] Scheduled to be  
available in the next feature release of OpenOffice.org, Report  
Designer will particularly interest business users, as it will give  
them the ability to create sophisticated business intelligence  
reports from various sources, including OLAP and XML, and save them  
using the OASIS OpenDocument format, or ODF, the ISO-approved open  
standard for file format, among others.

The collaboration between Pentaho and OpenOffice.org proves once  
again the strength not only of open source but of open standards.  
Unlike with proprietary applications, there are no encumbrances to  
getting things done, for users and developers. OpenOffice.org works  
for businesses.
