  • Distribution of reports and dashboards to users across all mobile platforms and web browsers

"At Information Builders our primary goal has always been to empower companies with innovative leading-edge business intelligence and integration solutions that increase operational efficiency, improve strategic planning, and enhance decision-making. WebFOCUS Express was built on more than 35 years of that experience," said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "WebFOCUS Express eliminates long, complex, and expensive development cycles, so companies with limited technical skills can quickly and easily design, build, and deploy sophisticated, comprehensive reporting and dashboard environments that enhance their operational systems."
