Information Builders Presents the Innovation Sessions Webcasts

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2016) - Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) and analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions, today announced that it is launching The Innovation Sessions, a series of seven webcasts with some of the industry's top visionaries.

The Innovation Sessions explore innovations and next-practices in data management and analytics. Listeners will gain insight into how leading companies are changing the game using data assets and analytics -- and driving long-term value.

Information sharing is the most direct path to innovation and insights. The Innovation Sessions have been created with the idea that individuals can increase their knowledge by learning from the industry's top experts, adapting the lessons of their experiences, and inspiring new ways of thinking in their organizations. 

"The expanded need for data-driven decision-making within organizations requires better guidance and understanding to ensure technology choices align with business strategy," said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "The Innovation Sessions webcasts are designed to provide education in the form of rich content and frank conversations from some of the foremost thinkers in the industry. We have a tremendous line-up of knowledgeable analysts and experts to speak on the issues many companies are facing on a daily basis."
