History

Gerald D. Cohen is the President and CEO of Information Builders. Gerry co-founded Information Builders in 1975[1] with Peter Mittelman, and Martin B. Slagowitz to develop a software product that would allow non-programmers to create their own information systems. The resulting product, known as FOCUS, was designed to enable people without formal computer programming skills to work with information systems.[2] Building on this foundation, Information Builders solutions have been used to construct information systems for thousands of companies, universities and government agencies around the world.[3]

Information Builders is one of the largest privately held software firms and operates in more than 60 locations.[4] In 2001, it established iWay Software, a wholly owned company that focuses on data integration and service-oriented architecture (SOA).[5]

The company announced growth in 2013.[6]
