International Financial Data Services (IFDS) Canada, a leading
provider of technology and outsource services to the financial
services industry, today announced that Ventana Research, a leading
benchmark research and advisory services firm, recognized IFDS in
the 2012 Ventana Research Leadership Awards. IFDS collaborated with
Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) and
analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions, to
develop "IFDS Insight™," an external-facing dashboard that gives
clients access to detailed reports and data for better
decision-making in real time.
IFDS Insight was developed to help sales, marketing, and
operations executives more easily maximize the value found in fund,
dealer, broker, and advisor data. It's a modern, dashboard-driven
environment, which provides detailed analysis capabilities as well
as ad hoc, on-demand reporting. The easy-to-use interface lets
users sort and manipulate statistics on selected fund products, and
analyze trends and dimensions over time. The solution also provides
state-of-the-art mobile and event-driven alerting capabilities,
giving users access to key metrics in real time on any smartphone
or tablet.
"IFDS is a terrific example of how business intelligence
technology can help organizations improve their overall
performance," said Mark Smith, chief executive officer and chief
research officer of Ventana Research. "We congratulate IFDS for
receiving this well-deserved honor. I'd also like to congratulate
Information Builders for making it possible for their customers to
derive significant business value from their business intelligence
offerings."
"In our business it's essential that organizations have access
to information in real time, as market conditions can change so
rapidly," said Sara Hilliard, vice president of product management
at IFDS. "By leveraging Information Builders' BI capabilities to
develop IFDS Insight, we're not only giving our customers the
information they need to do their jobs more efficiently, we're also
empowering them to make data-driven decisions on their own without
relying upon their finance or IT teams."
"Information Builders is seeing an increase in companies looking
to extend data analysis capabilities externally, and IFDS is a
prime example of the value to be derived from these initiatives,"
said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "We
congratulate the company on Ventana Research's recognition of their
project, and look forward to continuing our work with them on
future endeavors."
