Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Provides CardSmith with Competitive Edge

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaspersoft, maker of the world's most widely used business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that CardSmith, a leading provider of campus card program management services, uses Jaspersoft to provide clients with first-in-class reporting tools. CardSmith embeds Jaspersoft BI in its Software as a Service (SaaS) transaction solution allowing administrators to seamlessly create robust reports that analyze student and consumer behavior. As a result, Jaspersoft's reporting solution has become a key differentiator for the company.

"School administrators benefit from having decision-making information at their fingertips, powered by Jaspersoft," says Taran Lent, VP Product Management and Development and co-founder of CardSmith. "We've been able to leapfrog our competitors using Jaspersoft's reporting capabilities. Jaspersoft gives our customers on-demand access to critical information, automates distribution of information to key decision makers and provides faster insight than other competitive solutions."

Traditional campus card programs are expensive, often requiring significant investments in resources and IT infrastructure. CardSmith's managed service provides educational institutions with campus card services and benefits without the incremental IT resource investments.

CardSmith chose to embed JasperReports Server based on its flexible licensing costs, modern architecture, and customizable framework. Through its simple, powerful ad hoc reporting capabilities, Jaspersoft BI now provides campus administrators with business and operational insights, such as sales activity volumes for accounting, as well as student purchasing insights used to optimize business operations and the student experience. Due to Jaspersoft's easy-to-use and web-based report server functionality, the CardSmith team easily implemented JasperReports Server with no customization beyond basic re-branding.

"The combination of Jaspersoft and CardSmith gives schools a complete solution and the best data insight for card programs on the market," said Jim Bell, Chief Marketing Officer at Jaspersoft. "Architected for SaaS environments, Jaspersoft can be easily embedded to deliver powerful reporting to companies like CardSmith."
