Information Builders Publishes New Book on How Companies Can Raise Organizational Intelligence to Become More Competitive and Profitable

Features BI and Analytics Case Studies from Some of World’s Most Recognized Brands and Other Industry Innovators

New York, NY – September 29, 2016 – Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) and analytics, data integrity, and integration solutions, today announced that its new book, Organizational Intelligence: How Smart Companies Use Information to Become More Competitive and Profitable is now available in print and digital download through Amazon. Featuring the best practices from some of the world’s most recognized brands, the book provides executives and BI practitioners sage advice on how to skillfully navigate today’s BI and analytics landscape. Organizational Intelligence is co-authored by Information Builders’ President and CEO Gerald D. Cohen and Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer Dr. Rado Kotorov, Ph.D., who together have more than four decades of experience in the industry.

The demand for information has steadily increased over the years as organizations invest in capturing and processing more data to improve decision-making and efficiency. The goal of BI and analytics has always been to empower organizations to make decisions based on facts, and that’s still a fundamental objective today. However, Information Builders believes to truly capitalize on data assets, organizations must give every employee access to the information needed to make fact-based decisions on the job.

Based on this premise, the company’s experts have published Organizational Intelligence, which explains how improving the decision-making process through information dissemination can raise organizational intelligence and market performance. Through an examination of the evolution of enterprise data access and technologies as well as detailed case studies, the book outlines how organizations can build an overall strategy for organizational intelligence, and how to tailor the approach for different constituencies to maximize adoption and value.

Gerald Cohen, president and CEO, Information Builders, said:
“Despite advances in the field and cutting-edge technologies like WebFOCUS that support decision-making, studies show that BI and analytics have only achieved about 22 percent penetration within organizations. In this book, we examine why adoption isn’t more pervasive and reveal how organizations can engage the remaining 78 percent. Senior executives, data practitioners, and business analysts can expect to get practical advice on leveraging information as a business asset. This is crucial for enabling the fact-based decision-making necessary for everything from data monetization, process enhancements, and better customer experience to business growth.”
