Information Builders is marrying Ajax to its line of WebFocus business integration platform to provide a thin-client approach to custom business reporting. The technology, announced this week, will be available later this year. IDN takes a quick peek and how BI and Ajax may push business demand for both among end users, creating new dev opportunities.
Dubbed WebFocus Power Painter, the tool will enable devs to create powerful reporting and analytics in a thin-client environment. IB describes the opportunity for such a tool this way:
Web technology has lacked the capability to deliver a truly robust interface similar to the desktop. The initial release will be geared toward the power user, to provide them a single tool to address the wide range of needs of information consumers to advanced developers.
As for end users, IB says incorporating Ajax into WebFocus brings these new “process-driven BI” capabilities:
Alerts - Providing users with notification when analytics produce certain results, allowing users to resolve issues as they unfold in real time.
Analytics - Embedding analysis in order to inform users or determine how to automatically manage the process workflow based on results.
Data visualization - Enabling users to view the process at multiple points throughout the event and decide how data is produced, delivered, and designed.
Reporting - Aligning BI with decision-making more tightly than ever before, enabling users to determine the precise events or conditions that trigger the need for a report.
