    IBM
    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    I can depend on it to work and be there when I need it. It is very intuitive and easy to use and even first time users have little to no issues with it. I can have small or large meetings with it and utilize the functionality i need to depending on the situation
