Interview with Gary Stone about Geographic Business Intelligence:

What is Geographic Business Intelligence Software Does a growth?

Geographic Business Intelligence is the meeting of GIS with business intelligence applications. As the leading provider of business intelligence to have invested in this technology, we created three years ago the first solution in this field with GIS technology from ESRI and see today as the Business Intelligence Geographical extension of our BI platform.

Indeed, the Geographic Business Intelligence provides a real opportunity to extend business intelligence to a new type of applications. We have seen that many problems of firms had a geographic dimension. And it is no coincidence that in 2009 we will launch a new offer that will integrate closely with Google Maps.

Trace information on a map and link it to business intelligence is a sophisticated form of data visualization to enable users to analyze geographic trends that are not easily identifiable through traditional analysis and reporting.

What is your view on market concentration of decision-making?

This movement is a real opportunity for us, the market concentration of decision-making that affected particularly publishers with an offer primarily oriented towards business leaders and functional departments.

However, we found that a majority of companies access and analyze less than 20% of their data and put only 10% available to the operational as well as partners, suppliers or customers of the company, thus minimizing the return on their investments.

Disseminate information from a large number of users implies the choice of a business intelligence solution flexible and scalable, boasting an efficient infrastructure, major strengths of our solution.

Remain independent, do you consider it as a strength or a weakness?

If Information Builders remains independent for more than 30 years, to meet strong demand from our customers to have business intelligence solutions tailored to their heterogeneous environment consisting of different systems, applications, databases of multiple vendors.

If the actors have been the subject of takeovers are concentrated in the coming months on integrating their technologies, Information Builders has already certified and operational solutions for.

This new offering business intelligence tools comes very useful to learn about how your business is doing in certain geographic locations.
