Pentaho version 8 Here's what's new and improved.
Pentaho, a product that originally launched over a decade ago as an open source business intelligence package, will soon be available in a version 8.0 release.
Pentaho existed an an independent company for more than a decade, until it was acquired by Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) in 2015. HDS integrated Pentaho into its own offerings and services implementations, but otherwise left most things running as they had been before the acquisition. That changed last month, when Hitachi announced it was combining Pentaho, HDS and Hitachi Insight Group (the unit responsible for the Lumada IoT platform) into a single new division called Hitachi Vantara.
