More organizations are struggling to manage large sets of structured and unstructured data and to access this information in near real time regardless of its size or form. Information Builders offers unique functionalities with its WebFOCUS and iWay product lines that enable organizations to gather and process data sets of increasing velocity, variety, and volume. A key component of Information Builders' big data offering is the company's adoption of column-oriented technology into the WebFOCUS platform. Some of this is achieved through Information Builders' partner program, which includes relationships with organizations such as 1010data, Teradata, HP Vertica, and EMC/Greenplum. In addition, the company's integrity capabilities help users correlate information from disparate systems and ensure that it is cleansed and standardized before it spreads to other parts of the organization.
Another element of Information Builders' big data offering is WebFOCUS , a query-optimized data store embedded into the WebFOCUS environment, which uses analytics to accelerate the speed and efficiency of applications that handle high numbers of queries or large volumes of data. earlier this year, Information Builders developed WebFOCUS Hyperstage in response to customer demand for faster response time on large data set applications.
What began as a platform for engaging personal connections has become a powerful enterprise resource for gathering feedback about a company and its products. As Facebook's popularity grows, Information Builders is helping its customers glean valuable data from the channel and incorporate this information into existing reporting infrastructure. The WebFOCUS Facebook Adapter contains publicly accessible posts and comments and allows organizations to aggregate the data and embed it in charts and dashboards already deployed in the organization. Information Builders' Facebook Adapter is also augmented with Word analytics capabilities, enabling users to better understand the sentiment behind individual posts and comments for deeper analysis.
