Pentaho Highlights Integration With Google Technologies at Google I/O Developer Conference

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Google I/O Developer Conference -- Pentaho Corporation, the commercial
open source alternative for business intelligence (BI), today announced
new connectors for Pentaho Data Integration Enterprise Edition, providing
integration with Google Spreadsheets as well as a connector for Google
Analytics. Senior technical staff from the Pentaho Engineering team will
be demonstrating the new features at the invitation-only SandBox at the
Google I/O conference in San Francisco, California this week.

NEWS SUMMARY

-- Pentaho has added two new connectors to its flagship ETL product,
Pentaho Data Integration Enterprise Edition, to address customer demand
for additional integration with Google technologies.

-- The first new connector provides integration with Google Spreadsheets
so that organizations can integrate data from Google Spreadsheets into
data marts and data warehouses.

-- To address growing demand for enterprise-class web and customer
analytics, Pentaho has created a new data source connector to extract web
traffic information from Google Analytics, making it easier to analyze
information across multiple web properties and to integrate valuable
online traffic information with customer information stored in other
applications and databases.

-- These new capabilities add to the growing list of Google Technologies
supported by Pentaho Corporation. For example, Pentaho was the first
business intelligence provider to deliver mashup integration with Google
Maps for location intelligence applications, allowing organizations to
visualize geographic information about customers, stores, and distribution
facilities using Google Maps. And last fall, Pentaho introduced the
Pentaho User Console, a self-service, interactive web 2.0 BI portal for
navigating, viewing, and sharing reports and analytics, built on the
Google Web Toolkit (GWT).

-- Based on the expertise of Pentaho's senior technical staff, and the
company's innovative integrations with Google technologies, multiple
members of the Pentaho Engineering team were invited to the Google I/O
conference to demonstrate Pentaho's capabilities in the SandBox area.

QUOTE AND DETAILS

-- "We use Pentaho Data Integration Enterprise Edition to integrate and
analyze huge volumes of web traffic information from SwissColony.com,
SeventhAvenue.com, and the rest of our sites," said Mark Douma, Director
of Internet Marketing and Operations. "Google Analytics integration will
enable us to automate the integration of our Google Analytics data with
our corporate data warehouse. I appreciate Pentaho's responsiveness to
our needs by taking this from request to reality in just a few weeks."

-- Customers who would like to take advantage of the new Google
integration capabilities should contact Pentaho Customer Support.
