NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 31, 2011) - Information Builders, an independent leader in business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Leaders" quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms"* based on the evaluation of Information Builders' WebFOCUS business intelligence suite.
"Now more than ever, today's organizations recognize that everyone within the enterprise needs access to actionable information to make decisions," said Gerald Cohen, CEO and president, Information Builders. "With our position as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, we believe Information Builders' WebFOCUS platform stands out in its ability to not only deliver easy-to-use, quality data from every source, but to also enable our customers to build customized applications to continue to drive business success."
Information Builders' WebFOCUS Web-based business intelligence solutions allows organizations to create large scale platforms, particularly those aimed at external customer facing applications, that provide enhanced insight into business data. WebFOCUS is also integrated with Information Builders' iWay Information Management platform, which provides businesses with the ability to incorporate real-time data profiling, data quality management (DQM) and master data management (MDM) components to increase the accuracy of their information.
According to the report, "the market for BI platforms will remain one of the fastest growing software markets despite sluggish economic growth in most regions. Organizations continue to turn to BI as a vital tool for smarter, more agile and efficient business."
