New IBM Cognos Software To Help More Employees Make Better, Faster Decisions

IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a new software capability that will allow performance management information — which links strategy and corporate objectives for the best use of company resources — to help more employees make faster and more informed business decisions.
This news is part of a bigger announcement made earlier today featuring an array of new and enhanced joint IBM-Cognos solutions, products and services from across the company that enable organizations of all sizes to gain better insights from their data.

This new capability in IBM Dashboard Accelerator software will help companies extract business data and present it in new, different and more meaningful contexts through their IBM WebSphere Portal applications.
The new feature is called Cognos “builder” because the data is obtained from reports generated by the Cognos 8 Business Intelligence (BI) tool. Cognos 8 BI delivers a complete range of analytical capabilities on a single, service-oriented architecture. It helps companies author, share, and use reports that draw on data across all of the organization’s sources.

IBM Dashboard Accelerator is a relatively new IBM software tool used for rapidly building a dashboard, which is an intuitive visualization of information customized to a specific job role or point of view. A portal is a technology for providing external and internal Web sites which can deliver personalized information, applications, and processes.
