    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.

    Clarity is well suited to address issues with data integrity, where you want to maintain formatting for fields from various sources. While it can be used to address issues with data impacting departmental use (ex: a field must be set to a particular value based on other field values, and if this is not the case then a business unit may be impacted), the amount of time required to setup the logic is cumbersome. As such, we leveraged TIBCO Data Virtualization to deal with these scenarios.
