With solutions that extend from reporting to statistical analysis, Cognos Business Intelligence helps support the way people think, work and collaborate as they search for the answers to three questions: How are we doing? Why? What should we be doing?

With the ability to interact, search and assemble all perspectives of your business, Cognos Business Intelligence provides a limitless BI workspace to support how people think and work. It delivers the complete range of BI capabilities: query and reporting, analysis, dashboarding and scorecarding on a single, service-oriented architecture (SOA). And it expands traditional business intelligence (BI) with planning, scenario modeling, real–time monitoring, collaboration and predictive analytics.

Query and Reporting

Cognos query and reporting capabilities ensure users are equipped with the information they need to make fact-based decisions in a system that's simpler, faster and easier to manage.

Analysis

With Cognos analysis capabilities users can explore information easily and intuitively to drive smarter business decisions. General business users can easily view, assemble and analyze the information required to make better decisions, while business and financial analysts can take advantage of more advanced, predictive or what–if analysis capabilities.
