WHY STANDARDIZE?

Standardization – choosing a single vendor for all your BI needs – is the best way to extend the benefits of BI across your organization. When you choose a single BI vendor, you can expect these benefits:

• Simplified IT Environment: eliminate the overlapping or redundant products you're struggling with. Embrace a single sign-on, metadata model, and user interface.
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): say goodbye to the relentless upgrades, training, and maintenance that come with multiple solutions. Deploy one product that everyone can use.
• Increased ROI: break the reporting backlog that saps your IT resources and get more value out of your ERP data. Give your users the power to build reports and make decisions quickly, on their own.

Most BI vendors claim this is what their products deliver. But most simply offer a jumble of overlapping and outdated products. Look closer. You'll see that only Cognos provides a clear path to BI standardization.
