TROY -- Altair Engineering Inc. announced that Intelligence Business Solutions, a Tokyo-based business consulting and process solutions provider, will become a reseller and implementation partner for Altair's HiQube business analytics technology, integrating HiQube as part of their solution offerings to companies throughout Japan.
