IBM Cognos 10 is
the newest Cognos Business Intelligence and Planning release. IBM Cognos 10 provides in a
unified BI workspace all the tools you need to manipulate and analyze data.
Users can now access all the Business Intelligence functionalities from one
single application. IBM Cognos 10 also provides a new collaborative
way of working through the integration with the Lotus Connections
software, allowing users to communicate and discuss the information resulting
from the BI platform, in a more efficient way.
With the integration of the SPSS
engine, IBM Cognos 10 offers new predictive analytics capabilities
to analyze the data in addition to the existing BI capabilities. Together with
the "what-if” scenario capabilities of the analytical module,
it allows IBM Cognos 10 to get better insight in your historical data in order
to forecast the future. IBM Cognos 10 is also moving forward in giving
access to information by sharing it with other applications using the new
mashup capabilities, allowing the user to get dynamic off-line
reports by email or to access their data on all the mobile
devices, including Apple, Blackberry, Symbian or Windows based devices.
