"With the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite, we connect people and data in order for them to get their jobs done. The decision to select Jaspersoft was straightforward; we needed a solution that would deliver business intelligence to all of our users. That is what Jaspersoft does for us." — Amy Stephen, Data & Internet Specialist, University of Nebraska
JasperServer. High Performance. Not High Cost.

A Standards-based Architecture Delivers Unmatched Flexibility & Scalability
JasperServer is based on open web technology such as XML, JDBC, Hibernate, Java, and Web Services — and is implemented as a lightweight 100% pure Java server application offering excellent user and data scalability.
Designed for Integration and Embedding
JasperServer was designed from the ground-up for integration or embedding into other applications, by ISVs and within enterprises. It includes Web Services, Java, PHP, C++ and HTTP APIs, supports a wide range of proprietary and open source RDBMS, application servers, and operating systems, and is compliant with U.S General Service Administration Section 508.
JasperServer comes bundled with MySQL, Tomcat and Liferay Portal—so it's ready to run. It also provides full support for a wide-range of proprietary and open source operating systems, application servers, and repository DBMSs. For more details on supported platforms, see jaspersoft.com/platforms .
Reports, Ad Hoc Queries, Dashboards and Mash-ups
Powered by interactive Web 2.0 AJAX and dynamic HTML technologies, JasperServer enables end-users to build reports and ad hoc queries without reliance on IT. Through a web browser, they can work with a business view of data that requires no understanding of database concepts or query languages. Simply drag and drop business view items into the query builder, add filters and parameter prompts, and the query is complete. Reports can be saved, shared, scheduled, and distributed via JasperServer's repository manager application.
The same technologies permit easy, drag and drop dashboarding. Users can build and deploy dashboards that monitor key performance indicators and metrics in near real time. Also, any URL-addressable content can be included in dashboards, enabling mash-ups across internal and external business applications.
Rich Visualization
Built-in charting provides an at-a-glance understanding of trends and anomalies. With customizable chart themes, users have fine-grained control over chart look and feel. They can also apply chart themes to existing reports and dashboards.
You can easily integrate JasperServer with third party charting and visualization engines, enabling reports to display information using maps, and other advanced information visualization techniques.
Integrated Analysis
As well as powerful reporting, JasperServer provides integrated data analysis through the same AJAX and dynamic HTML powered user interface. JasperServer's integrated analysis capability sets business users free to explore their multi-dimensional data — pivoting, drilling, sorting, and filtering — without requiring the overhead of creating and maintaining data warehouses and traditional MDX-based OLAP technology. In addition, integrated analysis can be configured to leverage either high-performance in-memory processing, or highly-scalable DBMS processing of analysis operations.
SaaS-Enablement
JasperServer is SaaS-enabled, with support for multi-tenant deployments — where multiple organizations (or "tenants") can share the same server — completely protected from each other. This means JasperServer is the ideal BI product to integrate into on-demand applications deployed using a SaaS-model, both within enterprises and to external customers.
Instant portal access
JasperServer support for the JSR 168 portlet specification means it's easy to extend reporting and business intelligence capabilities to anyone in your organization through an enterprise portal. With JasperServer, authorized users can view, request, and update reports, charts and crosstabs within the portal. JasperServer includes Liferay, the leading open source portal server.
Report scheduling and distribution
With JasperServer, you can ensure that decision makers and stakeholders get the right information, when they need it, and in the format they prefer. JasperServer includes built-in report scheduling and distribution — including support for calendar based recurrences, historical report versioning, and export to a range of output formats such as PDF, HTML, Excel, and RTF.
You can deploy JasperServer on its own or as part of the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite, which can deliver comprehensive, enterprise-strength BI capabilities throughout your organization.
