Information Builders iWay 7 solution enables rapid access to timely, accurate data across all systems, processes, and stakeholders. Designed to satisfy enterprise-scale, as well as project-oriented and departmental-level requirements, the iWay 7 solution delivers comprehensive capabilities that allow organizations to:

• Overcome data silos and obtain direct access to information from any source with a wide range of pre-packaged integration components that are specific to your industry or business type.
• Optimize business processes and enhance real-time decision making by drawing on existing application and infrastructure investments to support operational and analytical needs.

Additional key features and advantages that are provided include:

• Ease of use through a unified Eclipse-based toolset (iWay Integration Tools) that re-purposes existing products as integrated facilities and capabilities. A key benefit is a consistent user experience across the iWay 7 suites from the perspective of user interfaces, technologies, and methods.
• Integration with source management systems (for example, SVN) to allow seamless source control within teamwork-based development environments.
• Integration with all versions of Java Virtual Machines (for example, Oracle and IBM).

The power of iWay 7 lies in its ability to offer one unified toolset for both application and data integration. In this way, the iWay 7 solution enables you to provide seamless, yet secure, access to your enterprise data and integrate with any application or data store.

Together or standalone, iWay 7 product suites offer you efficient solutions for building and maintaining complete, powerful integration architectures.

Here are some examples:

• Application integration through iWay 7 allows you to develop applications that connect and integrate with distinct systems (for example, SAP R/3 for supply chain and PeopleSoft for CRM).
• Data integration through iWay 7 allows your applications to access data from any data source (for example, connect to an Oracle database and move your data to a Teradata database).
