Information Builders, the independent leader in pervasive business intelligence (BI) systems, recently announced that Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company has selected Information Builders WebFOCUS BI platform as its enterprise reporting standard to support a web of knowledge that makes the company more cohesive by giving business users a smooth and intuitive way to access and share information.

“We wanted a general-purpose BI environment so all users could go to one place to find the information they needed,” said Daryl Pannabecker, Vice President of IT at Brotherhood Mutual Insurance. “We selected WebFOCUS based on the flexibility of its development environment, strong support for business users, and highly responsive sales and support organization. WebFOCUS provides many new ways of accessing, analyzing, and displaying our data,” added Pannabecker. “It’s an essential tool for management, planning, and operational efficiency.”
