Cognos

IBM Cognos is one of the leading BI vendors in the market. Cognos 10 is an extremely powerful reporting tool, designed to cater for even the most complex of requirements. Cognos allows you to create and distribute highly functional reports for your enterprise in a web browser. As a company, we benefit from being IBM partners for a decade and can therefore give you full support in your use of the Cognos system with the backing and expertise of IBM.

Some of Cognos’ most important aspects include its easy to use graphical interface that allows users to create their own reports in a controlled environment; its ability to export to alternative formats such as text files, formatted spreadsheets and PDF files; its strong security model which facilitates the administrator in controlling exactly what information users can access, along with a host of other essential features.

Microsoft

Our reporting solution from Microsoft is SQL Server Reporting Services. Reporting Services is ‘free’ with SQL Server, meaning you can fully utilise your current investments, at no additional licence cost, to access and combine data from virtually any data source to meet the reporting needs of your business. Reporting Services covers the full range of reporting through highly intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users, as well as providing powerful report authoring environments for IT professionals and developers.

Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services also ships at no additional cost with SQL Server. Again, you can fully utilise your current investments to pull together analytical models from virtually any data source across your organisation with the industry’s leading OLAP solution. Users can access these analytical capabilities through the familiar Microsoft Excel and SharePoint Server environments, therefore extending the reach to more employees throughout the organisation, or even out to the public and to partners if required.

With Microsoft Data Mining, you move beyond simple data analysis to identify hidden trends, problems or relationships in the data. After insights are extracted from patterns, clusters and trends, people can better identify the ‘root cause’ of problems and predict future outcomes. Microsoft builds these powerful data mining capabilities into SQL Server Analysis Services, allowing you to surface predictive analytics in your reports, dashboards and scorecards to provide deeper insights to more employees. Through the Data Mining Add-ins for Excel we make the power of data mining available through the familiar and intuitive Excel experience, allowing these capabilities to be accessible to a broader range of users.
