NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - Information Builders, the independent leader
in production business intelligence (BI) systems,
today announced its support of the new IBM System z10
Enterprise Class that helps customers create a new enterprise data center.
The new z10 Enterprise Class will enable Information Builders to better
meet the BI needs of customers worldwide by providing more opportunities
for building new applications.
Information Builders and IBM have partnered for 30 years serving more than
7,000 joint customers. Their relationship provides faster, more secure and
reliable ways for organizations to simplify IT environments by reducing the
number of servers needed, improving performance, and increasing access to
vital information. The use of WebFOCUS with the z10 Enterprise Class offers
IBM customers a comprehensive enterprise BI engine that can easily access
and quickly deliver information to anyone internal or external to the
organization including: executives, managers, employees, analysts, power
users, customers, suppliers, and business partners. With increased
accessibility to custom reporting, queries, and analysis, customers can
quickly recognize and address critical business demands to gain a
competitive advantage through better business decision-making.
"The value that the z10 Enterprise Class brings to Information Builders
can't be ignored," said Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders. "With
the system's ability to physically consolidate and optimize the IT
environment, our WebFOCUS-based BI applications will support even more
high-end applications with fewer servers and fewer operations staff.
WebFOCUS applications routinely provide information to a mass number of
users with iron-clad security and complete reliability -- now we can supply
customers with a higher level of support."
The z10 Enterprise Class will allow Information Builders customers to
further leverage the operational business intelligence power of WebFOCUS
for new and existing applications, creating more efficient and agile
businesses.
