Can I use Pentaho Analysis out-of-the-box?
Yes. It was designed to be used as both an out-of-the-box analysis application and as an analysis component for use in other applications. Some companies will simply want to download the project in a standalone manner and start building, scheduling, and distributing analytical views. While others will want to embed and integrate the project into their own applications, only using the components they need, and customizing it to fit their app.
