3. Information Builders Inc.
Private Independent Software Vendor
Lines of Business:
Enterprise Integration
Business Intelligence
Established in 1975
1,400 customer focused employees
12,000+ customer sites worldwide
Significant partnerships
Recognized market leader
Information Builders is ranked among the top 50 privately held software companies worldwide. Headquartered in New York City we were established in 1975 and we have been helping organizations meet their information and integration delivery needs for over 30 years. In 2006 our revenues exceeded 300 million. Our solutions have been implemented across every major industry. Today 80% of Fortune 1000 companies are leveraging our technologies. Information Builders has two core competencies, we are leaders in both the Business Intelligence marketplace and the Integration marketplace – as such you will hear of our technologies discussed across a number of the software categories that analysts track. For example, you will see us very respectfully positioned within the Gartner magic quadrants. Our technologies are usually discussed within the context of business intelligence, ETL, Integration frameworks, ESB’s, and SOA. Latter on in the presentation we will also discuss solutions that represent the convergence of our two technologies.
We have fourteen hundred employees worldwide and twelve thousands customers, this give us a very broad experience in business intelligence and integration. With over thirty years of experience much of our product direction and our product focus has been driven by customers. As a privately held company we can answer to your customers before Wall Street. In the integration space we have very significant partnership with companies like SAP, BEA, Oracle, and Sterling Commerce. In fact, if you were to take a quick look at the Gartner Integration Suite magic quadrant you would find that 70% of the vendors in this quadrant are partners with iWay. They partner with iWay because our iWay technologies, specifically our adapters, can help connect their own integration technologies to other operational systems. Ironically enough this makes iWay the integrator’s integrator in the integration software marketplace. Please note too, these partnerships for iWay are strategic and go well beyond a simple hand shake – iWay derives significant revenue from these partnerships, with companies like Oracle/BEA, Informatica and SAP introducing iWay technologies to 400+ companies. It is through these partners that the Gartner group recognizes iWay Software as the market leader in the Adapter space …
This idea of iWay as the integrator’s integrator ,and as a recognized leader in the Adapter space, lays the foundation for iWay’s significant differences among many vendors in the integration space.

Used FOCUS and data access technologies on MF to access IMS-based G081.
G081 - The Air Force Core Automated Maintenance System for Mobility (G081) provides airlift and tanker aircraft maintenance management information to aircraft engine managers in operational support of the C-5 airlift.
User of WebFOCUS and iWay Data Migrator for the last 6 years.
The Global Reach System portrays data from multiple transactional systems in a fused view for use by managers and decision-makers and planners.  All data is derived from our source systems (Base and Depot maintenance, Supply, Training, etc. - CAMS-FM), Supply Chain (SBSS/ILS) and C2 (GDSS-2). 
WebFOCUS and iWay tools are used to extract, store, use and portray required preparedness information contained in our transactional systems such as CAMS-FM Standard Base Supply System, GDSS, etc. 
Uses WF to create XML fused data files of critical information to external source systems such as C2, USAF logistics and Joint Planning and Execution Systems (JOPES). This information is extracted using WebFOCUS and iWay tool-sets and software and stored in tables in our Oracle Db for use by WebFOCUS reports and external systems 6 6

USTRANSCOM TRAC2ES
Enables Command & Control of global patient movement in peacetime, contingencies and war
Provides 100% ITV
2 support personnel
TRAC2ES is a DoD/Joint enterprise combining doctrine, policies, processes, procedures, and plans, and automated information systems (AIS) to provide command and control of global patient movement in peacetime, contingencies and war. The system provides for lift-bed planning, resource allocation, patient-centric decision-making, and in-transit visibility (ITV) of patients and supporting resources.
TRAC2ES - A bed report gives real-time information on a hospital or region's capacity to receive, admit, and treat patients from a war, contingency, or natural disaster.
From battlefield injury to home station, there is seamless patient movement under the umbrella of qualified, capable aircrew members and trained critical care professionals. 7 7

8. iWay EIM Approach
In effect, this is a turn-around from traditional approaches. Other vendors in this space primarily started as batch vendors and now offer real-time or near-real-time extensions but they are still basically batch products. iWay, on the other hand, has designed its EIM to target real-time requirements and, yes, it can do batch too. Companies whose primary requirements are for real-time processing could do worse than to take a good look at iWay EIM.

Data Quality steps:
Data Profiling
A process that uses data profiling tools to analyze any data set against a complete set of client-defined data quality metrics. The profiling of data can be performed at any stage, the profiled data can be viewed in graphical mode, perform drilldowns, and the profile data can be stored. This profiled data can them be compared against previous profiled data to provide data quality trend analysis.
Cleansing Parsing and Standardising
Validate and corrects industry standardization attributes within your data;
Standardization of name formats, titles, case corrections;
validation of newly added addresses Postal Service rules and dictionaries.
DQ has specialized steps made particular for names parsing/standardization.
Enrichment
Create data about or for data. Geocode addresses. Create scoring and profiling results for data. Implement business rules on scoring and profiling results.
Monitoring
The profiling of data can be performed at any stage, the profiled data can be viewed in graphical mode, perform drilldowns, and the profile data can be stored. This profiled data can then be compared against previous profiled data to provide data quality trend analysis. 13
