OMB Data Visualization Tool Requirements Analysis: Information Builders Dr. Brand Niemann Director and Senior Data Scientist Semantic Community http://semanticommunity.info/ AOL Government Blogger http://breakinggov.com/author/brand-niemann/ July 23, 2013 http://semanticommunity.info/Data_Science/Free_Data_Visualization_and_Analysis_Tools/Information_Builders

  2. Background • DRAFT White Paper for OMB Pittsburgh, July 11, 2013. • Start With the End in Mind, Avoid Tool Wars, and Develop Well-designed Spreadsheets That Can be “Dragged and Dropped” Onto a Tool That Creates Statistics and Visualizations in the Public and Private Clouds. • Focus on Requirements Analysis by First Comparing Magic Quadrant Leaders on Common Data Sets. • Spotfire Was Able to Reproduce Birst, Microsoft, QlikView, and Tableau Data Visualizations With Dynamically Linked Visualizations. • Broaden This Requirements Analysis to Include More Sample Data Sets and Tools. • Information Builders Is a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

  3. Gartner BI Magic Quadrant:Information BuildersInformation Builders Strengths and Cautions Excerpts • WebFocus is fully integrated with the firm's iWay integration platform, which provides adapters for multiple data sources, as well as data federation, profiling and quality capabilities, geocoding and real-time search index management, business activity monitoring, complex-event processing, file-based integration and master data management. This integration makes Information Builders a good fit for organizations without a data warehouse, and for operational reporting. • A key challenge for Information Builders is to address its lack of a data discovery offering.  • The WebFocus server has the intelligence to deliver content to any device while taking on native gesturing and menu characteristics.  • The only non-product-specific limitations related to an inability to gain user buy-in to an enterprise approach. Nevertheless, almost two-thirds of respondents consider Information Builders to be the enterprise BI standard. • Email: • Brand, Thanks for your interest in our products and services. We have successfully received your request and it is currently being processed. • An Information Builders representative will be contacting you shortly. • Sincerely, Kathy Drago, Services Director Note: Bolding by the author to highlight key points.
