Introducing WebFOCUS 8
Comprehensive, Flexible
Business Intelligence Platform
Just like financial or human capital, information yields higher returns the more it is used,
shared, and managed effectively. Because of this, IT organizations are uniquely positioned
to grow the business by leveraging their information capital in new, more strategic ways.
Employees are empowered to exploit corporate data to improve real-time decision-making,
discovering new market opportunities, identify hidden behavioral trends, automate and
increase the efficiency of core processes, and create value-added information services that
generate revenue and loyalty among customers and business partners.
WebFOCUS 8, the latest business intelligence (BI) platform from Information Builders, makes
this possible by allowing organizations to leverage their information assets more efficiently
and effectively across and beyond the organization, transforming how users access,
interact with, and consume information for their strategic, operational, and personal needs.
With WebFOCUS 8, companies can accelerate the delivery of comprehensive and intuitive
BI solutions internally and externally, and build rich, secure information systems and
WebFOCUS 8 makes more data available to more people on more devices
than ever before.

Build More With WebFOCUS 8: Innovations to Expand BI
WebFOCUS 8, the industry’s most innovative and comprehensive BI platform, can be leveraged
in more ways and by more people – helping companies to use BI more strategically across and
beyond the enterprise. It is packed with cutting-edge new features for deploying BI to mobile
devices, tapping into insight contained in social media sources, leveraging big data, and more,
to provide organizations with everything they need to use their data to optimize productivity,
profitability, and competitive advantage.

WebFOCUS 8 is the only
BI platform that delivers
analytical, operational, and
customer-facing BI.
Powerful new features
dramatically increase the
value of information.
An Exciting New BI Portal
At the heart of WebFOCUS 8 is a completely redesigned portal environment that borrows the
best from Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft Expression Studio, and other web development tools.
The WebFOCUS 8 BI Portal offers an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and workflow for
easily creating portal pages with fully customizable navigation, banners, menus, page layouts,
display components, and more – without the need to learn web development. Organizations can
leverage their existing BI talent to create robust information environments that can be deployed
as internal apps, customer-facing apps, or SaaS apps, on private networks, and in the cloud. All
content can be fully branded to fit departmental requirements, or supplier and partner corporate
identity guidelines.
Business and operational users will also be freed from dependence on IT to customize content
and make it more relevant to their needs. Specialized tabbed and accordion containers allow users
to conserve space, while an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and layout templates enable them
to create their own dashboards in self-service mode. Smart, new parameterization capabilities
let users build mashups quickly from content in the BI repository, where all content is linked for
interactive data exploration and analysis. Enhanced management of color, styles, and themes
gives developers and business users the ability to create aesthetically pleasing portals and
dashboards without having to rely on designers.
Business users can quickly
and easily custom-tailor
their own BI content.
Create compelling
portals – without expertise
in web development or
graphic design.

A completely redesigned
portal environment makes
BI easier and more flexible
for all users.
Enhanced Active Technology Reports and Dashboards
Active Technologies – the innovative WebFOCUS format for sharing interactive, animated
dashboards and reports without specialized software or individual licenses – has been significantly
extended to include charting, styling, and new interactive capabilities. Our customers should be
able to easily repurpose their web assets, which is why Active Technologies allows WebFOCUS
reports to be quickly mobilized, in just a single click, without any coding. Users can create
compelling visualizations and dashboards that can be e-mailed to any other user.
Best of all, the new HTML5-based Active Technologies is fully device-agnostic. Users can interact
with reports and dashboards, whether connected or disconnected, and regardless of their
device or browser. Desktop users can leverage embedded point-and-click menus to manipulate
information, while smartphone and tablet users can take advantage of automatic device
recognition – which dynamically exploits the native capabilities of each appliance – as well as
larger menus, swipe and pinch gestures, and more.
New Charting Engine
A new HTML5 visualization library contains more than 130 different visualizations and chart types,
providing complete interactivity with any data, from any source, on any platform, using any device
– whether connected or disconnected. All visualizations can be selected by users to suit their
needs, so they can best understand and interpret the data. The very same charting engine also
produces formats suitable for print media, such as .jpg, .png, .gif, and .svg, so BI content can be
easily incorporated into publications, marketing collateral, financial statements, brochures, or any
documentation that requires high-quality images. This single engine guarantees visual consistency
across all formats, and facilitates easy conversion of content from one format into another.

Compelling new charting,
styling, and interactive
capabilities improve data

Mobilize and share

reports in one click of the

More than 130 visualizations
and charts provide full
interactivity with any data,

State-of-the-Art Mobile Solutions
The rise of smartphones and tablets has revolutionized the way information is delivered and
consumed. WebFOCUS 8 enables organizations to deploy highly interactive and mobile-exploitive
BI apps with the lowest effort, fastest time to market, and lowest TCO.
Rather than force IT departments to choose either native or web apps, WebFOCUS Mobile offers
the best of both worlds from a single platform. WebFOCUS 8’s “build once, deploy anywhere”
approach comprises the following exciting components:
?
WebFOCUS App Studio, a centralized application development for building and deploying
web apps that run on any browser: desktop, tablet, and smartphone
?
Mobile Faves, a native app container for iOS and Android platforms that makes it easy to
organize, access, and interact with your favorite reports and dashboards
?
Active Technologies, which allows any WebFOCUS report or dashboard to be mobilized with a
single click and e-mailed to all relevant users
?
WebFOCUS Magnify, our unique enterprise search engine, which offers an enhanced interface
for mobile devices so users can quickly find information – structured or unstructured – and drill
down to the details
All of these tools allow you to simply “turn mobile on,” so you get rich BI functionality from device
to desktop, without any native app development. As such, WebFOCUS 8 protects your existing
investments in technology infrastructure, BI applications, security systems, and human resources,
while future-proofing your mobile strategy as device platforms evolve over time.
More than 100 unique visualizations and charts provide full interactivity with any data, from any
source, on any platform, and on any device.
Mobile users can access rich,
interactive BI content from
any device.
Build once and deploy
anywhere, on any mobile
device – but only with
WebFOCUS 8’s mobile
capabilities.

Social Media Analytics
Social Media Adapters
New adapters for Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites empower users to track and
analyze status updates and other customer and employee activities that may impact business.
Unlike expensive surveys and polls, which provide insight into sentiment after the fact, WebFOCUS
8 allows organizations to measure and understand how stakeholders feel about their company,
products, and services in real time.
Sentiment Analysis and Word Analytics
WebFOCUS 8 provides innovative sentiment and word analytics that can be installed inside
the firewall, or used as a service in the cloud. With these cutting-edge capabilities, users can
understand the sentiment of content found in e-mails, blog posts, text messages, Facebook posts,
Tweets, and other text-based sources.
Data is fed to the sentiment analysis server, which returns a sentiment score and other information
that can be further analyzed. This provides a better understanding of the meanings behind the
data. Users can also display that data in new chart types that make it easy to visualize the words
and uncover their relationships.
Track and analyze what
customers are saying about
you on social media sites, in
e-mails, blogs,
and more.
6
Tap into real-time customer
intelligence from Facebook
and other sources.
Big Data and Columnar Database Adapters
No other BI solution can match WebFOCUS 8’s range of data access capabilities. New adapters
enable access to and analysis of big data stored in the Hadoop Hive and MongoDB databases.
Additionally, columnar databases are growing in popularity, due to their inherent ability to analyze
large amounts of data faster than their relational counterparts. New adapters for Greenplum,
ParAccel, 1010data, and Vertica allow users to efficiently generate queries and reports off large data
sources – at rates that are five to 20 times faster than similarly sized relational sources.
Salesforce.com Integration
Data stored in Salesforce.com the popular cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM)
system, can be easily retrieved and analyzed using all the features and capabilities of WebFOCUS
8. The new Salesforce.com adapter is easy to configure, allowing WebFOCUS developers to quickly
integrate Salesforce.com data with information from other internal systems.
Improved Search-Based BI
In addition to structured information, there is a growing demand to access the unstructured
content that also exists in most data sources. Search-based BI allows users to use keywords to
locate product descriptions in material masters, exceptions in warranty claims, customer service
records, call center interactions, and more.
The new format of WebFOCUS Magnify, our enterprise search solution, allows BI developers
to create search-based applications the same way they create regular reports. The indexing of
unstructured content is triggered automatically, making it searchable through a dynamically
generated, Google-like interface for search-based reports that can be accessed via any PC, laptop,
or mobile device. Developers can also associate any number of regular reports with searchable
content, so end-users can drill down and access regular analytics directly from search results.
Empower your sales staff
with improved insight into
Salesforce.com data.
View and analyze data in
Salesforce.com, or combine
it with other information

customer activity.

your big data – faster and

reports from unstructured
content, too.

Extended Security and Web Services Support
New Security Engine
The WebFOCUS 8 security infrastructure has been completely redesigned with more than 140
new privileges, including Resource Templates that allow one-click configuration of common
functions. With WebFOCUS 8, organizations can ensure that each user can access only the
information and functionality that is pertinent to them.
WebFOCUS 8 is also the only BI platform with the built-in scalability and security needed to
support multi-tenancy in cloud-based environments, as well as widely deployed, outward-facing
applications that securely separate one client’s data from another’s.
RESTful Web Services Adapter and API
Reporting and analysis can be significantly improved when internal data is combined with
information obtained from publicly available Internet sources. WebFOCUS 8’s RESTful Web Services
Adapter can be configured to tap into any public Internet information, allowing organizations to
retrieve and analyze it as it if were just another relational table. This makes thousands of pieces of
critical Internet information readily available to WebFOCUS users. With the WebFOCUS 8 RESTful
Web Services API, developers can embed WebFOCUS BI content into any operational application
without the need for costly rewrites. More than 50 function calls into WebFOCUS are included, so
developers can continue to work in their preferred environment to incorporate any WebFOCUS
report, chart, dashboard, or alert inside an application or business process.
