• St. Luke's University Health Network used Information Builders' WebFOCUS and Omni-HealthData™ to integrate clinical, financial, administrative, and external data from more than 40 data sources throughout a regional health network that includes seven hospitals and more than 270 outpatient sites. This advanced analytics environment leverages a cleansed and consolidated set of master data to boost performance, capture revenue, reduce costs, and compete more effectively with other regional health networks.

• Michigan State Police (MSP) used WebFOCUS and Omni-Gen™ to create a mobile, web-based search tool for troopers, detectives, supervisors, and crime analysts. By rolling out enhanced search capabilities, mobile dashboards, and an integrated data set based on golden records, MSP is working to increase operational efficiency by pushing real-time insights down to the trooper level, with the goal of helping deter crimes and minimize traffic accidents. This modern analytics environment is enabling MSP to better support its core mission of law enforcement while promoting safety across the state.
  
  
• Using WebFOCUS, United Way Worldwide created a self-service analytics portal that gives its 13,000 employees insight into the health, education, and financial stability of the communities they serve.
