iRise Announces Sponsorship of International Institute of Business Analysis
iRise Joins The IIBA in Support of Growing Business Analyst Community
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. –— July 19, 2005 — iRise®, In a continuing effort to better meet the needs of the business analysis community, today announced that it has become an international corporate sponsor of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), a non-profit association that represents the professional interests of business analysis professionals.
“We are delighted to support the IIBA as a corporate sponsor,” said Mitch Bishop, chief marketing officer at iRise. “Business analysts are the essential link between IT and the business in many organizations, yet there are precious few resources and technologies that empower business analysts to become better at their jobs . We applaud the efforts of the IIBA in catalyzing this community and look forward to contributing world-class best practices and application definition products to the cause.”
The sponsorship affords iRise participation in IIBA events, branding and editorial opportunities in the organization’s newsletter, and collaboration on other joint marketing initiatives. In addition, the sponsorship allows iRise to share its experiences, skills and technology with the organization’s membership.
“The knowledge and expertise in application definition that iRise will bring to the IIBA will be invaluable in assisting our members in their professional growth,” said Kathleen Barret, president of the IIBA. “We look forward to working with iRise to facilitate the public recognition of the business analysis profession and to sharing with our members the benefits that a product such as iRise can provide.”
Formally established in March 2004, the IIBA is the first organization of its kind in the world to develop and maintain standards for business analysis professionals and to provide formal certification of qualified practitioners. To learn more about IIBA, visit www.iiba.com.
