SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Connection Cloud, a revolutionary SaaS technology enabling real-time access to SaaS data in the cloud, today announced it is joining the sponsor lineup at JasperWorld 2012, Jaspersoft’s annual Business Intelligence (BI) conference. Roger Sippl, the lead architect and CEO of Connection Cloud, will be a featured speaker in the “BI Building in the Cloud” session, Tuesday, September 25, from 11:30 to 12:10 PM. JasperWorld takes place September 24-26 at the Parc 55 Wyndham Hotel, San Francisco.

“Now, Jaspersoft and Connection Cloud are unleashing the full power of SaaS data!”

The “BI Building in the Cloud” session will explore how SaaS and cloud technology are driving the development of new business intelligence applications in the cloud.

“With the advent of cloud-based data, enterprises wishing to execute business intelligence reports faced a new challenge, that of data being hidden behind many APIs. Connection Cloud’s advanced technology allows Jaspersoft users to access their SaaS data across one or more SaaS applications instantly, and in real-time, from where the data resides,” explains Sippl.

“This was a process that formerly took weeks or months with traditional data integration tools,” he added. “Now, Jaspersoft and Connection Cloud are unleashing the full power of SaaS data!”

JasperWorld is put on by Jaspersoft, which produces the world’s most widely deployed BI suite. The conference is expected to attract over 250 attendees this year and will offer a number of opportunities to participate in one-on-ones with Jaspersoft’s product experts and have your most challenging questions answered at the Expert Bar.
