Data Models and Scoring Applications Available for Government, Retail, Healthcare, Financial Services, Law Enforcement, Insurance, and CRM Deployments

Information Builders, an independent leader in business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced a partnership with Fractal Analytics, a leading provider of advanced analytics, to develop predictive analytics solutions on Information Builders' WebFOCUS RStat BI and data-mining platform.
