Free Foreclosure Trends Active Report Offered by Information Builders and RealtyTrac

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 21, 2008) - Information Builders, the independent leader in production business intelligence (BI) systems, in conjunction with RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, today announced the free availability of the first WebFOCUS U.S. Foreclosure Trends Active Report. Directly or indirectly, everyone is affected by the current mortgage crisis, and most are looking to gain insight on where the market is headed. The WebFOCUS U.S. Foreclosure Trends Active Report is the only one of its kind available today that allows users to analyze, drill down and assess foreclosure rates across the country over specific periods of time.

Leveraging data from RealtyTrac's March 2008 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report™, that shows foreclosure filings -- default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions -- increased 5 percent from the previous month and 57 percent from March 2007, Information Builders developed the WebFOCUS U.S. Foreclosure Trends Active Report to provide a more portable, interactive and visual way to analyze the information. The report is free and does not require users to install any software on their PC to analyze the complex data. When the report is displayed in a browser all of the functionality to calculate, resort, visualize, graph, create roll up tables from the data is automatically present. Anyone can do analysis on the fly, write comments on any cell and send to someone -- whether that person accesses reports from their Smartphone or desktop e-mail. Report features simplify the work that users need to complete by providing immediate insight into the data.

"Information Builders active reporting technology is clearly a valuable tool for helping to more conveniently analyze and understand the foreclosure reports RealtyTrac issues," said Rick Sharga, vice president of marketing, RealtyTrac. "In just a few seconds with a few simple clicks, anyone can use this WebFOCUS Active Report to find out stats like which state has the highest foreclosure rate or which areas seem to have the best value for the dollar. In addition, the WebFOCUS Active Report cleanly displays data from RealtyTrac's historical foreclosure reports so that users can see trends over time."

"We are committed to leading the industry in innovation and we saw an opportunity to do so with support for foreclosure data," said Rado Kotorov, technical director of strategic product management, Information Builders. "The WebFOCUS U.S. Foreclosure Trends Active Report provides people in a time of mortgage market crisis with a way to close the timing gap between data acquisition and data comprehension."

In the future, Information Builders plans to work with RealtyTrac to continue to develop and distribute monthly the WebFOCUS U.S. Foreclosure Trends Active Report so that RealtyTrac can provide these and other custom reports to millions of monthly visitors to its Website.
