Re: OpenERP and Business Intelligence

 

Hi Fabien,

Very kind to comment on the topic, thanks.

Could you please let us know how well trunk-new-graphview-ged scales?

i.e. – we have account.move.line table with 3 mln records.

How does that behave. Will the user have to wait 10 minutes before seing
that data/modify grouping/refilter or would it behave like a normal olap
cube: results instantly available when you slice and dice?

Regards,



Vadim

Hello,



I suggest not to go for pentaho, spago, saiku, or others. You should check
the branch of Antony, we developed nearly all features of current BI
software and it's already fully working.





I think the community should better concentrate to build apps in OpenERP
rather than trying to integrate with third party tools. Integration are
always painful, difficult to reuse from one project to another, ...
Developing a BI cube is just a few weeks of work (3 months for one
developer, less than 1000 lines of code). Today, OpenERP is so advanced
that developing a new app on OpenERP is usually easier than trying to
integrate with others applications. It's much more powerful and it's
maintainable over a long period of time.



We used to say internally that everything we develop that is not an OpenERP
module will probably die in a few years. We did the mistake to integrate
with SugarCRM, Alfresco, Ubercart, Webdav, CALDAV, Moodle. None of these
modules are still useable today.



With OpenERP, modules last if they are integrated, not if they are
interfaced. Search on the web, you will find plenty of integration with
Pentaho, SpagoBI, ... I bet that none of them are reusable on v7.





That's why I think you should rely on the work done on this branch:
trunk-new-graphview-ged (on http://runbot.openerp.com)



To test, go to any record (e.g. opportunities) and switch to the graph
view. Then, play with the cubes.





The future is going to be integrated, not interfaced...



Thanks,



Fabien

You could take a look at http://cubes.databrewery.org/ itś a python based
solution, it seems to be a good tool, lightweight, powerful and will be not
very difficult to get integrated into OpenERP



Light-weight Python framework and OLAP HTTP server for easy development of
reporting applications and aggregate browsing of multi-dimensionally
modeled data.



Hope this helps

Thanks everybody for the feedback!
BTW: the branch in runbot is not responsive. I will test it locally though.

It's a new graph view with BI capabilities. It will be merged in trunk in a
few days.

Hi,
What are currently the technical solutions available for OpenERP to be able
to
generate cubes for Business Intelligence?

I need to prepare a panel of solutions for one of my customers and would
like
to know:
- Tools and vendors involved
- Difficulty to integrate withh OpenERP7 current data model
- Price range if relevant.

NB:
I am not really looking for static reporting tools but more for dynamic
data
builders (equivalent to Cognos or Crystal Report).
It doesnot need to be opensource and Google is not an option as google.doc
is
not available in China.

Looking forward to reading you
