New York, NY, November 16, 2006 –- Information Builders, the enterprise business intelligence (BI) standard of choice for organizations around the world, today announced that Edison Mission Group (EMG), a nationwide independent power producer, has chosen Information Builders as its enterprise standard to streamline portfolio management and power station operations.

Based in Irvine, California, EMG is a subsidiary of Edison International, and has approximately $7.3 billion in assets. The company supplies power sources in several markets across the United States and operates base-load units as well as several large fleets of wind-powered generators. With such widespread operations, Edison Mission Group recognized the need for rapid integration of operational and market data into a single business intelligence solution that would allow everyone within the company to make decisions in real time, based on the same data.

“With developers in several locations, we needed a true Web-based development environment and a reporting architecture that could support a dispersed user-base in a cost-effective way,” said Geoff Antill, director of Business Intelligence at EMG.

Information Builders worked with EMG to implement the WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard and Developer Studio, which includes a complete back-end environment for data access, integration, and event monitoring. EMG is now using WebFOCUS to deliver a broad range of reports based on daily operating and trading results.

“It’s critical that energy companies like EMG have the right BI tools in place to obtain a complete picture of performance across the enterprise and ensure the best return on investment,” said Gerald Cohen, CEO of Information Builders.
