What: Information Builders®, the leader in production business
intelligence (BI) systems, will host a free, one-hour Webcast
designed to discuss how to use System i as a central part of any
business intelligence (BI) or integration initiative and a
mainstream part of modern SOA architectures.
When: This Webcast will be held on
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
12:00 noon ET/ 9:00 a.m. PT
Who: Information Builders Vice President Jake Freivald will provide
a brief overview of integration of BI systems with System i
using Information Builders' WebFOCUS BI suite. Following Freivald,
J. Ed Smith, Chief Information Director of Utz Quality Foods, Inc.
will describe how Utz built a Web reporting system on the System i
platform. Utz's system gives managers and employees near real-time
insight into inventory levels throughout their distribution network,
and created a tremendous competitive advantage over other
manufacturers who rely on old, sometimes stale data to run their
businesses.
Why: System i may be the most underrated, commonly used platform today.
It can be much more than a legacy system. This Webcast will discuss
how this technology can become part of a vibrant business
intelligence platform by continuing to provide important data and
aiding managers in making effective and timely business decisions.
This Webcast will cover:
-- Get a better understanding of how the WebFOCUS business
intelligence platform works with existing business
technologies.
-- Real-world discussion on how System i is being integrated
with a BI suite.
-- Learn what the real business benefits are of this type of
data integration.
