Portable BI Solution Unveiled: Launch of WebFOCUS Active Reports Addresses Growing Operational BI Demand

With WebFOCUS Active Reports, Information Builders will now offer the industry's first truly portable business intelligence (BI) solution. WebFOCUS Active Reports lets users leverage portable analytics capabilities to obtain critical business information whenever, wherever, and however they want it.

By providing customers with the ability to manipulate and understand data through dynamic reports, regardless of their connection to a network, Information Builders continues to extend the power of business intelligence to frontline workers wherever they may be. A sample report is available for demo purposes, at www.informationbuilders.com/active-report.

Faced with competitive market pressures and heightened customer-retention needs, organizations are continuing to expand the use of business intelligence across the enterprise. Frontline workers are now becoming BI users, required to access critical data to be proficient at their jobs. These users need dynamic reports with calculations, filters, and visualizations even though they may not be connected to the Internet, such as while traveling or working remotely. WebFOCUS Active Reports' portable analytics empowers users with near-real-time, direct data access in a familiar format, increasing productivity and enhancing decision-making capabilities, which directly impacts the organization's bottom line.
