Tryton is a three-tier high-level general purpose computer application platform on top of which is built a business solution (or ERP) through a set of so-called Tryton modules. The Tryton platform is organised around a three-tiers architecture: The Tryton client, the Tryton server and the DBMS (mainly PostgreSQL). The platform along with the official modules is licenced under the GPL-3. The name Tryton refers to Triton, the largest moon of planet Neptune, and Python, the implementation language. Tryton’s origin is a fork of the version 4.2 of TinyERP (which was later called OpenERP). More »

SpagoBI is an integration platform for the Business Intelligence entirely developed according to the FOSS philosophy. It is a platform because it covers and satisfies all the BI requirements, both in terms of analysis and of data management, administration and security. In the analytical world it offers solutions for reporting, multidimensional analysis (OLAP), Data Mining, Dashboard and ad-hoc query. It adds original modules for the management of collaborative processes which build analytical dossiers and for the geo-referenced analysis. It has tools for the data extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) and it supports the administrator in the maintenance of the analytical documents, managing the versioning and the approval workflow. SpagoBI has a behavioural model which regulates the visibility on the data and the behaviour of the single documents in relation to the end users’ roles. More »

JFire is an Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management system. The system has been written entirely in Java and is based on the technologies J2EE, JDO 2, Eclipse RCP 3. Hence, both client and server can easily be extended and it requires only a relatively low effort to customize it for specific sectors or companies. Currently, JFire already provides modules for user and access rights control, accounting, store management, direct online trade with other companies or end-customers (e.g. via a web shop), an editor for 2-dimensional graphics and other useful plugins. A reporting module which is based on BIRT allows for the editing and rendering of reports, statistics and similar documents (e.g. invoices). Even though the main goal of the software is to serve as a robust and flexible framework and thus to ease the implementation of sector-specific applications, it contains modules for the out-of-the-box usage in small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) Project is an open source software that provides reporting and business intelligence capabilities for rich client and web applications, especially those based on Java and J2EE. BIRT is a top level software project within the Eclipse Foundation. The project’s stated goals are to address a wide range of reporting needs within a typical application, ranging from operational or enterprise reporting to multi-dimensional online analytical processing (OLAP). BIRT has two main components: a visual report designer within the Eclipse IDE for creating BIRT Reports, and a runtime component for generating reports that can be deployed to any Java environment.
