Business Intelligence in Excel and on the Web: Jedox now Provides Supported Open Source Versions for Palo

Supported Open Source for Palo Combines Free Open Source BI Software With Support and Maintenance Services.

FREIBURG, Germany, January 21 - Jedox's range of products and associated services now thereby includes
open source, supported open source and commercial premium versions.

Effective immediately, Jedox will now also be offering the Business
Intelligence software Palo for Excel and Palo Suite in a "supported open
source" version that includes support, software assurance and maintenance.
Supported open source combines free software subject to a GPL licence with a
level of service usually associated with commercial business software,
thereby offering users certainty with regard to their business processes. In
terms of service, the supported open source concept is positioned between
pure open source products and commercial open source products subject to
subscription licenses, with the latter being marketed by Jedox under the
names Palo for Excel Premium and Palo Suite Premium.

The supported open source version of Palo for Excel is available as a
fully deployable, fully equipped open source software package for as little
as 188 euros per month, while the complete Palo Suite costs as little as 375
euros per month. With these low entry prices, BI software packages with
manufacturer support are now available for projects that would otherwise have
exceeded their budgets, such as small installations with just a few users, BI
projects in initial phases and department-specific solutions.

The Palo Suite contains all the Jedox standard applications - OLAP
Server, Palo Web access, ETL Server and Palo for Excel - in an extensive
platform that can be customised to the client's specific needs. The platform
consists entirely of open source products and thus provides a high-end BI
solution completely free of license fees.

Palo for Excel is an add-in for Microsoft Office Excel based on the
powerful OLAP Server database Palo OLAP. Palo for Excel extends Excel-based
planning, analysis and reporting processes in order to create a
cost-effective business intelligence solution.

In addition to open source versions of Palo for Excel and Palo Suite,
Jedox also offers premium editions with extended functions, greater
scalability and higher performance. These are available with a subscription
license.
