The Chamber of Accounts of the Azerbaijan Republic (COAA) has embarked on a software development project to build an audit management system (AMS), the design, implementation, and support of which will be handled by their chosen third-party commercial software development contractor. The proposed AMS does not have a Business Intelligence (BI) capability in its current specification. This report identifies the main open source BI platforms that can be integrated with COAA’s AMS in the future to provide a low-cost BI capability. This report concludes that available open source BI platforms can provide a useful low-cost testing ground for any organization to understand how BI can add value to its operations, and to understand the organizational skills and capacity that are needed to take best advantage of the various features BI platforms have to offer. However, it is recommended that once this knowledge has been gained, that the organization then considers transitioning over to a commercially supported BI platform for its mission-critical applications.
