A Highly Intuitive Environment
WebFOCUS InfoAssist shields users from the underlying technical
complexities associated with ad hoc reporting features, while providing
them with unhindered access to all the functionality they need to address
their most mission-critical information requirements. The function ribbon
adapts to user actions, dynamically changing to expose more secondary
dialogues and options. Additionally, dynamic, interactive, and fully
customizable WYSIWYG development enables the rapid and efficient design and
deployment of ad hoc reports. Users receive instant feedback throughout the
process to ensure that reports and charts are properly built. In addition,
preview options allow for development against sample and source data.
"Information Builders understands that ad hoc reporting is critical to
ensuring fast, effective decision-making and the smooth execution of
day-to-day operations," said Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders. "We
have developed a robust and user-friendly solution that helps companies
overcome the common challenges associated with traditional ad hoc reporting
environments. By offering the most sophisticated capabilities without the
complexity, InfoAssist will extend the power of ad hoc reporting to a
broader community of users."

in a single, thin-client environment at a lower total cost. There is no
software to install, no desktop clients to maintain, no user licenses to
track; just a rich Internet application that makes powerful desktop-style
ad hoc applications readily available via the Web to business users across
the enterprise.
