IBM-Cognos - Getting to partner together on BI
After the recent acquisition of Cognos, IBM is starting to add applications to its BI suite by leveraging existing Cognos products and also new BI tools.
From Infoweek -
IBM (NYSE: IBM) last week laid out its plan to integrate the business intelligence products from recently acquired Cognos with its own information management software. To show that it means business, IBM introduced no fewer than 10 BI packages that do just that, for industries such as banking, retail, health care, and life sciences.
The strategy involves melding Cognos’ business analytics and reporting tools with IBM’s content management and database middleware. One offering, for example, adds Cognos’ Store Operations and Planning blueprints to IBM’s Retail Integration framework. Such combinations take “us deeper into business analysis and analytics,” says IBM senior VP Steve Mills.
For banking, IBM introduced the Financial Risk Insight Solution, which couples the IBM Banking Data Warehouse with Cognos 8 Business Intelligence modules. It’s meant to give financial services companies an enterprise-wide view of risk across products, divisions, and geographies.
