IBM® Cognos® 8 BI delivers the complete range of BI capabilities on a single service-oriented architecture (SOA). Provide the capabilities and information you need to make better decisions. Use reports, analysis, dashboards and scorecards to monitor business performance, analyze trends and measure results. A service-oriented architecture makes it easy to deploy and manage.
Reporting gives you access to a complete list of self-serve report types, is adaptable to any data source and operates from a single metadata layer for a variety of benefits such as multilingual reporting, ad hoc query, and scheduling and bursting.

Analysis enables the guided exploration of information that pertains to all dimensions of your business, regardless of where the data is stored. Analyze and report against online analytical processing (OLAP) and dimensionally aware relational sources.

Business dashboards communicate complex information quickly. They translate information from your various corporate systems and data into visually rich presentations using gauges, maps, charts and other graphical elements to show multiple results together.

Scorecarding helps you align your teams and tactics with strategy, communicate goals consistently, and monitor performance against targets.
