The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
12/07/2004
Cognos (Nasdaq: COGN), a provider of business intelligence (BI) and corporate performance management (CPM), today announced it is embedding the Composite Information Server from Composite Software, a provider of Enterprise Information Integration (EII), into Cognos ReportNet(TM) through an exclusive BI OEM agreement. Cognos has also made a $4.5 million minority equity investment in Composite Software.
Cognos said the Composite relationship is one of many initiatives underway to deliver on Cognos' open data strategy for its customers. Cognos said it is committed to helping customers leverage their increasingly complex data environments in order to maximize their return on investments. This agreement, the company said, provides Cognos with a solution to support very high performance joins on an expanded set of disparate data sources.
With this agreement, Cognos said it allows new styles of reporting and analysis by combining historic data from warehouses with real-time operational information from a wide range of data sources including XML, JDBC, WSDL and LDAP -- enabling a "single version of the truth"-- without moving or replicating data. Organizations can dynamically access and leverage all information, internal or external, no matter where the information resides in order to be more competitive.
"Our research into the use of business intelligence applications for enterprise operations shows that integrating data from multiple data sources is a key requirement. Augmenting the data warehouse with dynamic data from other sources that include Java applications, the Internet, and other similar sources drive this requirement," said Eric Rogge, Vice President and Research Director at Ventana Research. "Solutions such as the integration of Cognos ReportNet with the Composite Information Server are a natural extension of BI technology and are a necessary step forward to meet emerging enterprise information needs."
"Of all the EII platforms we tested, Composite offered the best combination of outstanding performance and simplicity of operation, and we are pleased that Cognos is the exclusive BI platform for the Composite Information Server," said Neal Hill, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development at Cognos. "We will continue to take the lead in responding to the market need for true enterprise reporting and BI standardization."

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
