ELC Technologies

While the benefits of a PaaS are apparent, it's important to have complete transparency in the run time environment of production systems.

Jaspersoft

As companies are increasingly turning to PaaS as their preferred cloud strategy for enterprise application development, the ability to harness large amounts of data with BI is a critical component. With Jaspersoft's BI platform integrated into Cloud Foundry™, organizations can leverage our rich reporting and analytics to create data-driven applications. The ability to natively connect to both SQL and NoSQL data services and quickly deploy them to both private and public clouds using Cloud Foundry can provide significant bottom-line value. This approach enables greater agility, reduces infrastructure and startup costs, and delivers faster time-to-value through a better user experience.
