The result is a fully integrated product line that spans an enterprise's need for reporting, dashboarding, analysis and data integration - so organizations can make better decisions faster.

"Jaspersoft continues to evangelize the key principals of open source: transparency, participation and collaboration," explained Karl Van den Bergh, Jaspersoft's Vice President of Product and Alliances. "Through these principles and our community of over 275,000 members, we have created a product that advances BI capabilities to address the emerging needs of the new IT world driven by cloud, mobile and Big Data.

About the SIIA CODiE™ Awards
The SIIA CODiE™ Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other's work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose – to showcase the software and information industry's finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement.
