OFS Brands Selects Information Builders to Provide Real-Time Mobile Business Intelligence
Information Builders' WebFOCUS Chosen to Automate Real-Time Mobile Reporting
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 04/03/12 -- Information Builders, a leader in (), , and solutions, today announced that OFS Brands, a leading supplier of contract furniture, has standardized on Information Builders' WebFOCUS BI platform to enable its sales force to access customer information and reports remotely on their iPads®.
OFS Brands had been relying on its IT department to generate on the fly, ad hoc reports as they were requested by the organization. This model did not scale with organizational growth and impeded timely decision-making. With WebFOCUS, associates are able to quickly and effectively access information remotely via their iPads®, improving customer service and freeing the IT department to focus on other strategic initiatives.
"With Information Builders and WebFOCUS, we were able to deploy one solution that was flexible and powerful enough to satisfy the requirements of all our users," said Scott Franzel, director of Information Technologies for OFS Brands. "We wanted to provide the capability to access information in the office, on the road, or at home, therefore there was a large emphasis placed on mobility."
OFS Brands has currently deployed WebFOCUS for roughly 30 users to date, with future plans to expand. "Users continue to provide high praise of the solution and they continue to share stories of how they are using the information for everyday decisions," said Tim Hopper, application delivery manager of OFS Brands. "Being mobile allows access to this information anytime and anywhere which has been extremely powerful."
"When it comes to mobile BI, it shouldn't be viewed as a luxury, it's a necessity," said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "We've designed our solution from the ground-up to allow for business professionals to access and manipulate their data no matter what type of device they're using -- be it a phone, tablet or desktop. Today's announcement with OFS Brands validates our approach."
