IWS is the foundation for application vendors and system integrators to jump-start the design, development, and implementation phases of business intelligence applications. Version 3.2 extends the capabilities for Business Performance Analysis to the property and casualty insurance and telecommunications sectors, while continuing to provide a unique foundation for integration of CRM analysis for all industries. This version of IWS is further proof of the Sybase Business Intelligence commitment to broaden and deepen the business value of IWS while continuing to enhance the integrated infrastructure upon which our Partners build their Integrated Intelligence Applications. Version 3.2 also includes a new MetaData Manager feature that extends support to include multidimensional data structures, the development multidimensional views as Info Cubes that may be created dynamically for an entire subject area or for selected information through point and click. In addition support for metadata exports has been extended to support Business Objects 5.x, Cognos 6.x, and MicroStrategy 7.x.
Implementation also requires fewer technical resources.
It allows businesses to see customers in new ways that help increase revenue with existing information. Companies gain a better working knowledge of how, when, where, and what their best customers purchase for products and services. IWS supports closed-loop business intelligence environments that allow exploration of customer interactions and converts knowledge obtained from sales, marketing, and operational systems into strategies that yield significant competitive advantages.
