Information Builders (ibi), founded in 1975, was a privately held software company headquartered in New York City.[1] Information Builders (ibi) provided services in the fields of Business Intelligence, Data Integration and Data Quality solutions.[buzzword]
History
Gerald D. Cohen, who died in 2020,[2] co-founded Information Builders (ibi) in 1975[3] with Peter Mittelman and Martin B. Slagowitz. Their initial product, FOCUS, was designed to enable people without formal computer programming skills to work with information systems.[4]
Information Builders (ibi) was one of the largest privately held software firms, operating in more than 60 locations.[5] Computer Intelligence estimated in 1987 that Information Builders had 3% of the Fortune 1000 PC database market, tied for third behind Ashton-Tate and Microrim.[6] In 2001, it established iWay Software, a wholly owned company focusing on data integration and service-oriented architecture (SOA).[7]
In October 2020, TIBCO Software agreed to purchase ibi. The deal was completed in March 2021.[8]
