IBM Cognos Performance Applications

Analyst and Press Views


"Faster time to results is one key strength. ERP applications are wonderful for transaction processing, but reporting is slow and very time-intensive. The ability to get quick answers to questions with minimal impact on infrastructure is very beneficial to our overall decision-making process."
Mark Lack, planning and financial analysis manager at Mueller, Inc.

"During a time of ERP market consolidation, organizations should look to leverage existing investments to their full potential, not replace them. Cognos provides a solution that helps global organizations leverage the full value of JD Edwards and PeopleSoft transactional automation system investments and providing a robust BI and Performance Management solution offering."
Mark Smith, CEO and SVP Research, Ventana Research

"Cognos Production Analysis augments any shop floor transaction system by providing visibility into detailed and summary level information - ranging from shift level to multi-year trends - with easy-to-use, multilevel reporting. This allows decision-makers to navigate and improve a company's production performance through immediate access to actionable information."
