We can deploy Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions that enable:

• Multi-tenancy. Deploy a single storage structure that securely separates customer assets
• High scalability. Support large numbers of users and high volumes of transactions that scale to hundreds of thousands of customers
• Total cost of ownership (TCO). Satisfy the information needs of an almost unlimited number of users, without significant investment in servers and other hardware, and with minimal administrative resources
• Data access. Perform reporting and analysis against data collected by the SaaS application itself, and information maintained in on-premise systems
• Quality management. Ensures the completeness, timeliness, and accuracy of data

Information Builders’ solutions integrate with many enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), and other applications – such as Salesforce Chatter. Graphical modeling tools enable quick and simple integration of disparate sources of information, without the need for custom coding or the to learn vendor-specific APIs. Business users can dynamically configure the rules for event capture, filtering, correlation, and aggregation. Event streams can feed WebFOCUS BI or real-time business analysis, or they can feed web APIs and external applications such as Twitter.

Information Builders offers straightforward web services protocols to drive smooth, seamless integration between our offerings and the SaaS application. Clients can add or remove users instantly as needed. Achieve the true promise of SaaS by unifying SaaS solutions with an organization’s broader IT application ecosystem.

Our strategic partners such as Chrome River and Unisys have incorporated WebFOCUS BI and iWay Software solutions into their offerings to drive new revenue, differentiate their applications from the competition, increase customer satisfaction, and expand their customer base.
