Business Intelligence

With businesses having access to more data than ever before, it becomes essential to have the correct tools in place to turn raw data into meaningful information so users can make smarter decisions.

Our certified Cognos experts have years of experience in building business intelligence solutions and can provide you with the right solution for your reporting needs.

Whether it's building a framework to be used by business users for ad-hoc analysis, building regular reports and dashboards for senior management, or installing and configuring the Cognos application, our consultants are on hand to help.

Data Warehousing

Key to any Business Intelligence solution is a Data Warehouse. It allows for data from multiple sources to be consolidated into a single data model where it can be structured and optimised for reporting and data analysis, providing your business with a single version of the truth.

Our consultants have experience in building and managing fully-fledged data warehouses using Microsoft's SQL Server product suite and can help implement a solution that works in conjunction with your Cognos BI environment.

Bespoke Customisations

Every project is unique and sometimes this requires an outside of the box solution to fulfil the organisations requirement for how their business intelligence solutions should interact with their users.

Our consultants have strong technical backgrounds and have past experience in working with the IBM Cognos Mashup Service to utilise reports through third party applications, the Cognos SDK to build independent Java applications and web programming languages to create company branded portals.

Reporting

Cognos reporting capabilities fits the needs of all users across the business, whether they are professional report authors who design many reports for the business or business users who require the ability to create ad-hoc reports.

Our certified Cognos experts are fully equipped with the experience and knowledge to model data warehouse schemas and build complete reporting solutions.

Dashboarding

Cognos dashboard capabilities allow users to view, interact with and personalise content to help analyse data and make decisions. Business users can gain greater understanding of their data by quickly and efficiently exploring the data by drilling down into further detail.

Our experts can build dashboard views that can be authored once and accessed anywhere through the secure Cognos portal and provide decision makers with the information they require.

Installations & Configurations

Business Intelligence applications are becoming the principal way business users are consuming data, so it is vital to have the system setup and configured in the correct way to maintain high availability, high performance and scalability for your growing user base.

Our consultants have extensive experience in installing and configuring IBM Cognos environments of all sizes, whether a medium size business with a single tier installation or a large multinational financial group with a multi-tiered configuration.

Customisations

Internal brand awareness is just as much a part of the success of your organisation as your external brand. So when introducing a new software application that your employees will be using on a day-to-day basis, it's important to make them part of your brand.

We not only have the expertise in designing and installing Cognos solutions but also the ability to customise implementations to suit your organisations branding.

Mashups

There are instances where businesses require Cognos BI content to be embedded into other business applications, processes or data visualisation tools, such as Microsoft SharePoint or Google Maps.

We can provide the knowledge and expertise on extending your BI content to help users see information in different ways and gain new insights.

SDK

Even the best software can sometimes not satisfy all business requirements and advanced programming skills are required to build bespoke applications.

The Cognos Software Development Kit allows for interaction with the Cognos BI Services and components and our developers have past experience in working with the comprehensive API to solve unique problems.
