"After reviewing packages from Argos, Oracle, Cognos and Microsoft Reporting services we decided on WebFOCUS. It was very evident that WebFOCUS was a mature information delivery platform and the capabilities were years ahead of the competition. We recognized that Banner offered a lot of advantages for our university, but we needed a business intelligence platform to deliver those benefits."

Making Education Smarter, Better, Faster

Do you want to:

  • Create a culture of evidence-based best practices at your university or college?
  • Access any administrative information more easily and effectively?
  • Provide secure, role-based Web access to any university data source for students, alumni, faculty, affiliates and partners?
  • Track student success, enrollment, accounting, human resources, financial aid, and alumni information more easily?

We can help.

When it comes to accessing data and transforming it into knowledge you can use effectively, Information Builders has no equal. We understand the information-intensive environment encompassing educational institutions.

Over the years, our software has supplied more than 500 such institutions, including private and public community colleges and universities, with administrative computing needs such as admission reports, state regulatory reports, student aid information, and budget information. We have a history of providing consulting expertise from knowledgeable experts who have experience in higher education consultation and helping institutions leverage packaged solutions – such as SunGard Higher Education products, PeopleSoft, and Datatel Colleague.

Information Builders' WebFOCUS can provide Web access to any university data source for all students, alumni, and faculty with no incremental user costs, making it easy to track:

  • Finance and accounting
  • Human resources
  • Student information
  • Alumni information
  • Financial aid

Today, education demands a lot more from information technology. Reporting and other types of business applications must be extended to the Web, creating easy, secure role-based access to information for the president, the provost, VPs, deans, students, prospective students, alumni, faculty, and staff - decision-makers everywhere who impact the success of your organization.

Information Builders' Web business intelligence and integration technologies help some of the largest and most influential educational organizations in the world deliver more real-time information to more decision-makers.
