Analyse what's driving your business
IBM COGNOS 8 for reporting and analysis
Reporting and analysis software helps answer the "why?" behind your performance.
Reporting
Reporting from Cognos lets you author and distribute every report type: high-volume production reports, individual ad hoc queries, widely distributed business reports, centrally authored reports with self-service customisation, and more. Draw on any data source. Rely on a single metadata layer.
The result: higher user adoption, better decisions across the organisation, and the ability to respond to threats and opportunities.
Gain alignment with a single, reliable version of the truth - Common data definitions means you spend less time debating the numbers and more time deciding what to do.
Connect with all data sources - Don't limit yourself with proprietary reporting packages that do part of the job. Author reports across multiple data sources. Get a head start on integrated performance management.
Make the right decisions...faster - Timely reports and self-service reporting give you the information you need, when you need it.
Meet the information needs of all users - Deliver information over the Web, on the mobile devices through common interfaces like Microsoft Office. Give people information the way they want to see it.

"Managers now rely on real-time reporting, rather than ad hoc reports, which were sometimes out of date, for the business performance information. As a result, our company is now able to adapt quickly to the changing needs of the business and our customers."

Analysis
Analysis from Cognos lets users explore information from a variety of dimensions...under their control. How do results change over time? In different regions? By product?
Get the answers and detail you need - See information by department, by region, by product and more. Drill down from a summary to transaction-level detail.
Find trends - See changes year over year, month to month, or any other way you want the data modelled.
Model your business in multidimensional way - See how data points connect and compare with each other.
Complex analysis simplified - All users, whatever their business or technical level, can view relationships in your data change displays with ease.
