Portals
Business intelligence solutions make volumes of corporate data readily available to users across an organization. But, each employee needs different information in order to carry out their individual responsibilities. Without a consolidated, yet flexible and fully-customized way to present that business data, workers may find themselves spending hours sifting through numerous reports and charts to find exactly what they need.
Portals help employees fully leverage the power of corporate information to improve the way they perform their jobs. Through the use of a portal, workers can achieve a fast and fully-integrated view of the timely, accurate, and personalized business information that is most relevant and important to them.
Information Builders offers several solutions to help companies extend their portal strategies with the power of business intelligence:
