We review the results on Gamma-ray Bursts obtained during the first two and a
half years of operations of the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS). In many
cases GRB coordinates have been distributed with an unprecedented combination
of accuracy (3 arcmin) and speed (20-30 s). The resulting rapid follow-ups at
other wavelengths, including sensitive XMM-Newton and Swift observations, have
led to several interesting results.
