Organizations of all sizes, in all industries, understand that business intelligence (BI) is a mission-critical component of an information infrastructure. And so it's imperative that business intelligence solutions work well with an organization's information foundation.

If your organization is using market-leading databases, data warehouses, portals, development tools, project management software, middleware, hardware, or services from IBM, then the question becomes "How well do my BI and performance management solutions align and interoperate with IBM technology?"
