Software Demonstration

CSI and IBM demonstrate how IBM Cognos Express can help your company now get the same Business Intelligence and Performance Management benefits as the world's largest organisations - without the cost or ongoing IT overhead. Starting from the ground up we will show you how IBM Cognos Express can handle all of your reporting needs (production, dashboards, operatonal, transactional, managed)and also empower business users to easily access, modify and create repots with comprehensive self-service reporting and ad-hoc query capabilities.

We will show you how business users can quickly and easily translate raw data into sophisticated analysis. You will see rich visual presentations that include simple and intuitiv drill down and drill up capabilities, as well as the flexibility to slice and dice information and transform business outcomes with powerful "what-if" scenario modelling and write back. We will also demonstrate how you can tie these reports and analysis together using the powerful in-built portal. You will see how you can transform common spreadsheets with a powerful in-memory analytics engine for real-time multi-dimensional analysis, planning, budgeting and forecasting.
