Learn how Cognos Business Intelligence extends and adds value to your existing Oracle eBusiness implementation.

Host James MacCuaig interviews Cognos product marketing manager Doug Adams to cover a variety of topics including: using business intelligence to report against multiple heterogeneous data sources such as ERP, CRM, and financial applications; providing self serve web-based access to end users; offering the ability to move among BI capabilities such as reporting to analysis, or reporting to scorecards; and how IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence is proven and available for use today on your existing Oracle eBusiness Suite implementation.
