New York —
"Companies do not just want technology," says Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders. "They look for solutions that solve critical problems. Web-based access to report sharing and distribution has been available only to organizations with the IT infrastructure required to support such solutions. For small and mid-sized organizations with limited resources, the alternative has been static reports via e-mail or hard copy, which is time-consuming and leads to conflicting data. By offering customers WebFOCUS as part of reporting solutions, our partners help organizations reduce expenditures on software and hardware, shorten deployment cycles and optimize existing IT investments."
By encouraging and promoting the integration of Information Builders’ technologies and applications into third-party software, Information Builders is able to provide customers with complete solutions that maximize their technology investment, says the company.
Information Builders has sought out and collaborated with solution partners that enhance its business intelligence and integration solutions and increase its breadth of expertise and specialized knowledge. With new partners in SaaS, fraud protection and vertical management solutions for logistics and the public sector, Information Builders extends the coverage of BI and integration to the marketplace. And by partnering with SaaS solution providers, Information Builders and its partners are helping customers save time, costs, and resources at a critical economic time, reports the company.
