Noetix Generator for Cognos

Noetix

Noetix Generator for IBM Cognos 8 BI simplifies and accelerates the rollout of reporting to Cognos BI users.

Noetix Generator automatically populates the Cognos Framework Manager model with NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite. It then publishes this model as NoetixViews packages into the Cognos, an IBM company, content store.

The result? Report authors and query users can quickly begin using IBM Cognos 8 BI to develop their reports and queries against configuration-specific views of their Oracle E-Business Suite application data.

NoetixViews quickly bridges the information gap between the technical complexities of an Oracle database and ease-of-use requirements of Cognos users. By generating business views tailored automatically to an Oracle application's unique configuration, NoetixViews provides quick, cost-effective access to operational data without extensive effort and expense.

With Noetix Generator, Cognos administrators eliminate the effort and maintenance required to deliver user-friendly Oracle reporting to Cognos users.
