synopsis

IBM has finally taken the wrappers off Cognos 10, the latest generation of its Business Analytics software. This is an important release for the company not only because it expands the capabilities of Cognos beyond the traditional domains of Business Intelligence and planning but also because it demonstrates tighter integration with other assets in the IBM software portfolio. Both are designed to widen the mass appeal of Cognos software and enhance the capabilities for user engagement. This report examines the role Cognos 10 plays in IBM's Business Analytics strategy and assesses how the new capabilities and features within Cognos 10 will help deliver on this vision.
