Cognos 8 Business Intelligence

Dashboards

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.

The complete reporting capability of Cognos 8 BI supports your need for business dashboards. You do not require a separate application to build or use dashboard reports, saving additional cost, administration time, and training.
