Information Builders Recognized in Annual Gartner BI Report
February 23, 2013
Yep, it is the good old magic quadrant. One firm is trumpeting its inclusion in Gartner Research‘s annual BI report, we learn from “Information Builders Positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms,” posted at Reuters. The well-established Information Builders was happy to find itself in the Leaders Quadrant of that report, based on an evaluation of its WebFOCUS BI suite. The press release reveals:
“According to the report, the BI and analytics platform is ‘a software platform that delivers 15 capabilities across three categories: integration, information delivery, and analysis.’ In the report, Gartner states: ‘This emphasis on data discovery from most of the leaders in the market—which are now promoting tools with business-user-friendly data integration, coupled with embedded storage and computing layers (typically in-memory/columnar) and unfettered drilling—accelerates the trend toward decentralization and user empowerment of BI and analytics, and greatly enables organizations’ ability to perform diagnostic analytics.'”
The WebFOCUS suite is integrated with the company’s iWay data adapters, and both are increasingly available on mobile devices. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in New York City, Information Builders supplies data-management and analysis solutions to organizations worldwide. The company prides itself on innovation and superior customer service.
