ERS IS SHOWN TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROCESS.  ERS V IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

Infologics is developing a new version of its ERS software to deliver reliable information quickly and conveniently to all levels of users – no matter how much computer expertise they have -- through WebFOCUS Business Intelligence.  

There's been such a strong movement toward e-business (electronic business), and now there's something even more powerful:  i-business (information business).   Here's an excerpt from Information Builders describing it:

"An i-business is an Internet-driven organization that uses information in an intelligent fashion. These companies have figured out how best to leverage the Internet to deploy information consistently and accurately, both inside and outside the firm. i-business doesn't replace e-business. Rather, it is a critical part of an overall e-business strategy.

Companies who practice i-business have more productive employees, more responsive management, a tighter supply chain, and better relationships with customers.

In essence, the power of i-business is the power of information. And it empowers your company to grow, prosper, and compete more effectively. Information Builders lays the foundation for i-business through our two core product groups: EDA enterprise integration middleware and WebFOCUS business intelligence software."

Benefits of ERS with WebFOCUS:

	An entire library of new reports for analysis
	Web-based delivery of reports
	Integration to various document management systems

With ERS and Information Builders' WebFOCUS business intelligence software, you can quickly and easily build self-service, production reporting, and business analysis systems.  You can even deliver information in a variety of formats to meet different needs.

Stay posted for further and continuing developments on this exciting new feature of ERS -- such as using WebFOCUS to create reports in our USCS (Uniform Subject Classifications System) format and using the results to create retention schedules applicable to any electronic database!
