Case Study: Spiral Universe achieves rapid, cost-effective reporting for schools with TIBCO Jaspersoft

Education Management software vendor brings cost-effective Business Intelligence to educators worldwide

Spiral Universe Inc., maker of the Spiral School Information Management System, provides a hosted Web 2.0 platform that schools use to manage schedules, grades, transcripts and other administrative functions. Because Spiral’s freemium business model depends on revenue from districts and services, reporting for administrators and teachers is critical—the company needed a low‑cost, flexible way to design and deliver robust, exportable reports that meet evolving and often mandated information requirements.

Spiral integrated Jaspersoft BI into its web‑based “webtop,” using Ext JS with JasperReports/iReport and PostgreSQL to deliver PDF, HTML, CSV and XML outputs. Preconfigured GUI components and Jaspersoft’s flexible reporting tools let Spiral create and deploy new report styles in hours, improving customer satisfaction, enabling report‑design revenue, and supporting rapid company growth.
