NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 29, 2013) - Information Builders , a leader in business intelligence ( BI ) and analytics, information integrity , and integration solutions, today announced Gartner, Inc. has named the company a Visionary in the research firm's "Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools." This recognition is based on the evaluation of the company's iWay Integration Suite .
Information Builders iWay Integration Suite, part of the iWay information asset management platform, offers a breadth of capabilities that makes enterprises more agile and responsive to customer needs and market changes.
iWay supports all major data integration styles and offers an extensive array of adapters across all common platforms, applications, and data sources.

According to Gartner, visionaries have a solid understanding of emerging technology and business trends, or are in a position that is well aligned with current demand. The growing emphasis on aligning data integration tools with market demand for interoperability of delivery styles, convergence of related offerings, such as data integration and data quality tools, metadata modeling, and support for emerging analytics environments, among other elements, is creating fresh challenges for which vendors must demonstrate vision, Gartner reports.
Information Builders' iWay Integration Suite, a unified toolset for comprehensive enterprise integration, ensures rapid access to timely, accurate data across all systems, processes, and stakeholders. The software helps enterprises better manage a wide variety of data assets to accelerate time to market for big data analytics, mobile applications, and other strategic initiatives, as well as cut costs, reduce risk, achieve compliance, and improve business performance.
"Data is the most critical asset of any business, and companies are facing increasing pressure to organize, integrate, and share data to extract business value," said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "We believe the data integration solutions that Information Builders offers have been validated by the Gartner Magic Quadrant as powerful tools that allow organizations to evolve and adapt the use of their data to match the needs of the business."
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration report examines vendors offering software that enables enterprises to achieve data integration through constructing and implementing data access and delivery infrastructures. According to Gartner, data integration is central to information infrastructure within enterprises and data integration capabilities are an "enterprise competency," essential if data is to be shared across all organizational and system boundaries.
