ibi Launches Enterprise Agentic AI Engine at Annual Customer Summit Replacing Passive Business Intelligence

WebFOCUS 9.3.8 breakthrough introduces autonomous diagnostic AI, automated visual content authoring, model-agnostic freedom, and developer co-pilots.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ibi, a business unit of Cloud Software Group, today announced at their annual customer Summit event in New York City, NY a major advancement in enterprise intelligence with the launch of its conversational Agentic AI Assistant, natively embedded within the ibi WebFOCUS® Data & Analytics Platform.

The release marks a fundamental shift in corporate decision-making—moving global organizations from passive chart viewing to autonomous operational execution.

"The era of the static dashboard is officially over," said Daniel Ortolani, Senior Vice President and General Manager at ibi. "Enterprise CTOs don't need another chatbot that merely summarizes data—they need an agentic engine that automatically authors rich visual reports and diagnoses root causes in real time. We are giving global organizations the freedom to bring their choice of AI models, automate complex developer workflows, and turn enterprise data into immediate action."

From Passive Viewing to Autonomous Execution

Unlike basic natural language interfaces that generate superficial text over visual reports, the ibi™ AI Assistant inWebFOCUS introduces an autonomous operational engine:

• Automated Visual Content Authoring: Instantly generates and executes custom visual reports, charts, and interactive dashboards directly from plain-English requests—eliminating manual design steps.
• Autonomous Root-Cause Analysis: Executes background queries to move beyond tracking what happened to pinpointing precisely why metric variances occurred.
• Prescriptive Action & Governance: Prescribes immediate operational steps to business leaders while exposing underlying query logic, schemas, and data sources to technical teams.

Model-Agnostic Freedom & Enterprise Validation

Engineered for modern AI strategies, the assistant offers total architecture flexibility—connecting seamlessly to commercial LLM subscriptions (including OpenAI, Gemini, and Anthropic). Simultaneously, it acts as a developer co-navigator inside WebFOCUS, authoring and debugging complex code from plain-English prompts.
