Schmidt, Róbert ; Maryška, Miloš (advisor) ; Sládek, Pavel (referee)
The main goal of master thesis is to analyze and propose possible low cost Business Intelligence solution with open source technologies and comparison of available tools for implementation in middle size company. We compare Pentaho and Jaspersoft tools implemented on local hardware and cloud environment with Microsoft Azure services. The theoretical part focuses mainly on understanding the business intelligence and its architecture, because architecture is an important part of the work. Actual tools are designed as stand alone modules for specific activities in the business intelligence lifecycle. Low cost tools are often connected with open source technologies and cloud computing. This part of the work contains explanation of these terms and their advantages and disadvantages for our chosen target group of companies. The analytical part includes defined parameters by which it is conducted analysis of tools and their comparison. Business Intelligence solutions are divided according to arcitectural layers. The evaluation criteria are divided into financial, technical and user category. In conclusion, chosen tools are compared and evaluated. The main contribution of this thesis is comparison of open source business intelligence tools for implementation in middle size company. According to the EU directive, middle size company does not exceed 250 employees or profit is less than 50 million euros. The reader can compare the different solutions and their pitfalls or shortcomings that could be critical for the implementation.

Válek, Jan ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Maryška, Miloš (referee)
Cílem této práce je porovnání komerčních business intelligence nástrojů s nástroji Open Source v procesu implementace BI řešení ve střední firmě. V práci jsou porovnávány komerční aplikace Oracle (http://www.oracle.com) ? Oracle Warehouse Builder, Oracle Discoverer a Open Source nástroje z projektu Pentaho (http://www.pentaho.com) ? Kettle, Cube Designer a BI Platforma. Hodnocení obou systémů probíhá na základě předem definovaných metrik. Práce kromě popisu realizace obou řešení a jejich vzájemného porovnání také dává odpověď na zcela zásadní otázku, zda může Open Source řešení konkurovat tomu komerčnímu. Dalším přínosem je návrh modifikovatelného a znovupoužitelného stromu metrik, který je k hodnocení systémů použit.
