-Company ranked first for Operational BI in the Large International Vendors Group for fifth consecutive Year-

New York, October 19, 2018 – Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) analytics and data management solutions, has received top marks in The BI Survey 18 report developed by the European Business Application Research Center (BARC). The BI Survey 18 is the world’s largest survey of BI software users, with more than 3,000 respondents evaluating global vendors across a wide range of capabilities.

The BI Survey 18 examines user feedback on BI product selection and usage across 30 criteria, including business benefits, recommendation, price-to-value, customer satisfaction, customer experience, operational BI, embedded BI, and vendor support.

Information Builders received top-ranking scores across two peer groups – large enterprise BI platforms and large international BI vendors. While Information Builders has achieved consistently above-average results in several categories for many years, this year, the company and its WebFOCUS BI and analytics platform scored 17 top-rankings and 14 leading positions overall out of 60 categories.

According to those surveyed, Information Builders is a customer-oriented vendor that provides a positive sales experience, business benefits in large and complex projects, and a good standard of support.

WebFOCUS was recognized by a survey respondent as a “very scalable technology for all areas and functionalities” that offers “limitless application and extension possibilities.” The report also noted the WebFOCUS capabilities that help customers enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs, while enabling them to achieve business goals by providing a highly flexible solution that can be applied to a variety of use cases.

Dr. Carsten Bange, founder and CEO, BARC said:
“The BI Survey 18 is based on findings from the most comprehensive survey of business intelligence end users. We look forward to seeing how users perceive industry leaders that are revolutionizing data in business with each new edition.
