Cognos Business Intelligence improves your performance

• Provides one version of the truth -dashboards connect goals to reality, helping companies confront pressing business issues and execute more effectively.
• Presents a real-world view of business as ever changing and evolving -one that static reports cannot render.
• Unites data from all the core departments -including sales, marketing, finance, HR, logistics, distribution, and more so companies can have a true, complete picture of profitability.
• Supports mission-critical strategic initiatives -such as Six Sigma, ISO Certification, and Total Quality Management.
• Provides answers at a glance -for faster understanding and action by staff.

Competitive differentiators

• The most comprehensive chart types including histogram, thermometer, control limits, and trend, all fully customizable with options for color, animation, and layout.
• Superior functionality for performance measurement and management including statistical charts that measure mean, median, standard deviations, percentiles, variations, and frequency distribution.
• Instant high-impact visuals let users bring data to life in virtually any presentation type. Better interactivity than the competition with multiple 2D and 3D chart types, color-coded drillable maps, animated reports, and more.
• Better data access, bringing together diverse data from various sources including ERP and RDBMS systems, OLAP cubes, spreadsheets, and flat files. Competing solutions cannot access all data sources, making one version of the truth impossible.
• Easier to use-create data visualizations is quicker and easier, with no custom coding for IT.
