IBM Cognos Express

The integrated Reporting, Analysis and Planning solution for mid-size companies

Every organization recognizes the importance of trusted, accurate information – but having the data is not enough. Companies need the ability to leverage this information effectively and generate the insights required to better serve customers, transform their business processes and make better decisions, faster – in other words, to optimize their business.

Challenges all companies face today include:

  • Identify areas to improve efficiency and reduce costs
  • Strengthening customer relationships, new customer acquisition, and selling more to existing customers
  • Predicting & responding better to emerging trends, and how to optimize their business models to capitalize on these new opportunities

Companies that can best identify new opportunities and quickly align their resources will be the winners.

Mid-size business challenges are similar to large enterprises, but mid-size companies don't have the budgets, IT resources or expertise to undertake a large business performance management initiative.

An effective solution must deliver the right business intelligence and financial performance management functionality, with short time-to-value. The solution must be easy to manage, and provide a growth path to additional capabilities as the organization grows.

IBM Cognos Express is the only integrated Reporting, Analysis and Planning solution purpose-built for mid-size companies.

All the essential reporting, analysis and planning capabilities are available in one complete, integrated solution from a single vendor. The following three modules can be used separately or together:

  • IBM Cognos Express Xcelerator for Microsoft® Excel® based planning and business analysis
  • IBM Cognos Express Reporter for reporting and ad hoc query
  • IBM Cognos Express Advisor for freeform analysis and visualization

IBM Cognos Express is so easy to use that it can be managed and operated by business users themselves. Self-service access enables users to work independently to quickly access information and create and modify their own reports and analysis —without having to rely on constrained IT resources for assistance.

As your needs expand in the future, IBM Cognos Express provides a smooth path to add capabilities, using the same familiar software application.
