Information Builders' iWay Software suite provides state-of-the-art, multi-purpose, pre-built integration components that address all application, data, and information management requirements via the JBOSS ESB.

IT decision-makers can now integrate business intelligence into their Linux applications from any database or application. Don't sacrifice price for performance. Organizations turn to Red Hat and Information Builders for cost savings through lower cost hardware and software and through the ability to consolidate servers. And business users benefit from having actionable information delivered that impacts business at the point of decision.

Before implementing enterprise business intelligence, it is imperative that organizations carefully scrutinize the architectural underpinnings of any solution they are considering. Efficient, agile businesses need informed decision-making at three levels: executive, analytical, and operational. Architecture is essential to fully embracing all three levels.
