Only Information Builders and ESRI deliver a complete location intelligence solution that leverages the real-time reporting capabilities of the WebFOCUS BI platform and the powerful ESRI geographic information system. Information Builders integration with ESRI is that no Java™ script coding or other programming is required, you simply plug in the adapter. WebFOCUS integrates with the ESRI Adobe FLEX Viewer, and can be leveraged as part of a SaaS or cloud implementation. Common J2EE/AJAX architecture enables developers to easily add a GIS component to BI applications using a set of APIs. End users view new mapping functions as part of their existing application with little to no additional training. Analysts and power users can toggle between a map and BI application, easily passing results and sharing information.
