In the increasingly digital and data-driven business world, powerful enterprise BI and analytics is more important than ever.

Recognized market leaders in the annual BARC Score deliver solutions that fulfill this need and support overarching business decisions and improve operational processes efficiency.

Information Builders' ranking as a market leader is the result of two high scores in the evaluation categories – Portfolio Capabilities and Market Execution. These scores are a compilation of sub-criteria including functionality, infrastructure, portfolio, customer satisfaction, financials, organizational strength, and product strategy. In analyzing Information Builders, BARC looked at its overarching commitment to delivering tailored solutions to its customers that support the entire cycle of integrating, managing, and analyzing data.
