IBM COGNOS 8 for better business decisions
Many factors influence your company's performance. But few areas under your management are more important that your organisation's decision-making ability.
Getting answers and acting on them means integrating reporting and analysis, planning and measuring and monitoring - across your organisation. IBM COGNOS 8 provides you with this integrated approach.

“Before
we implemented the Cognos solution, we were not able to
drill down into so much detail on product sales. Now, we can
quickly see which products are performing best – and where –
in terms of sales volume, and make business decisions
accordingly.” |
By integrating information, technology, and people, your decision-makers can become performance managers. Performance managers look at metrics, plans, and reports in their functional area to make the best possible decisions and answer these fundamental questions:
How are we doing?
Measuring and Monitoring performance with scorecards and dashboards tracks your key metrics.
Why?
Reporting and Analysis lets you see data, gain context, understand trends, and spot anomalies.
What should we be doing?
Planning, budgets and forecasts let you set and share a reliable view of the future.
Performance managers also use this same approach to connect with others. For example, if Marketing decisions improve demands, then Sales and Operations need to know to ensure the supply is ready.
In this way, your good decisions cause other good decisions. The end result is better alignment, accountability, and performance.
