Business Intelligence Extranets

Benefits and Value

Cognos, an IBM company, offers the industry's most comprehensive suite of business intelligence capabilities. Using our zero-footprint, browser-based BI for your extranet delivers:

  • Unmatched scalability — support for multiple platforms and servers means you can easily scale to support thousands of users.
  • Predictable performance — years of testing, thousands of real-life implementations, and published benchmarks promise reliability and availability.
  • Openness — our open architecture employs XML to extend and integrate services, applications, and environments.
  • Centralized administration — IT can configure, deploy, modify, and maintain all Cognos tools from one central location.
  • Leverage your existing security — enable secure information transactions within the firewall and beyond to Internet and extranet deployments.
  • Seamless information delivery — compress event-to-action response times through event notification and efficient email and portal information delivery.
  • Lowest Cost of Ownership — all of these factors, combined with high user adoption rates, equals faster return on investment and the lowest total cost of ownership for your organization.
