Aiming to turn this trend into the competitive advantage, leaders of the industry of IT will constantly reinterpret the strategy of a business intelligence, aiming to offer the amplest opportunities of analytics online. WebFOCUS gives to users the chance to browse data on interactive dashboards and as necessary to obtain detailed information on specific categories; thus the companies can give to the clients an opportunity to work with data needlessly significantly to rebuild infrastructure of IT.

"In today's market too fierce competition that it was possible to treat carelessly customer relations", - Gerald Coen, the President and the Chief executive of Information Builders says. – To create and save business, the companies need to share information out of corporate walls. They need to open on-line access to important data for clients, raising thereby number of happy clients, reducing costs, increasing flexibility, preventing fraud and even reducing the amount of paper and other waste. Ample analytical opportunities online help clients with any activity, from tracking of deliveries before prevention of crime. On our belief, it is a new boundary for the business intelligence industry."
