NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/14 -- Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) and analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions, today announced that Forrester Research, Inc. has recognized the company as a Strong Performer in its report, "The Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Tools, Q2." The recognition is based on an evaluation of the company's iWay Master Data Suite.

The report, authored by Henry Peyret and Michele Goetz, evaluates the strengths and weakness of the top 10 data governance software providers across the areas of current offering, strategy and market presence. The report found that "data governance has shifted from a technology management endeavor to a business imperative." Today's vendors are offering "new tools and capabilities to support the business-oriented program of data governance rather than merely automating data governance tasks."

In the report, Forrester recognizes Information Builders' coverage of the "quality, reference, and metadata management data governance domains," as well as the company's ability to adeptly execute business rules and processes. The report also noted Information Builders is "developing data governance 2.0 vertical solutions." In particular, the report pointed to the "investments in and early rollout of new MDM solutions for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries (that) are setting the stage for advanced data governance enablement."

"With companies across industries battling an unending deluge of data, incorporating data governance tools in the corporate software arsenal has become increasingly critical to facilitate informed, beneficial decision-making," said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO, Information Builders. "Information Builders is dedicated to advancing its data governance offerings and providing our customers with the highest performing technology available to ensure confident decision-making and business advancement. We believe our recognition as a strong performer in the Forrester Wave for data governance tools reflects this commitment."

Part of the iWay Information Asset Management Platform, the Master Data Suite enables effective data governance by allowing organizations to rapidly create and efficiently maintain a single, 360-degree view of all core entities.
