Comparex Africa`s Customer Oriented Applications (COA) division will host a series of free business briefing seminars on Cognos Series 7 over the next few weeks. Series 7 is the latest release of Cognos`s industry-standard, business intelligence platform.
The seminars will be held in Cape Town on Thursday, 25 April, in Durban on Friday, 26 April, and in Johannesburg on Tuesday, 7 May 2002.
Comparex Africa COA is a Cognos Premier Partner and was named Cognos South Africa Best Solution Provider at the Cognos Enterprise User Conference in Johannesburg last year.
"Business intelligence has moved from value-add to `must-have`," says Comparex Africa COA managing executive Rodney Hood. "It is key to understanding your customer, and critical as a resource and process enabler to create shareholder value. Cognos Series 7 has been positioned to ensure its customers gain superior advantage and emerge as winners in today`s competitive global markets."
Cognos Series 7 meets organisations` need for consistent business intelligence by consolidating various data sources to create a unified view of the business, delivering the right information, to the right people, at the right time. Organisations can select Cognos products to build the information environment that meets their business needs, or deploy pre-built, customisable Cognos analytical applications that speed the time to value.
The latest version features enhancements to Cognos`s stability, installation, integration and deployment that make it easier for customers to install, integrate and deploy the applications across the enterprise. In addition, Cognos Series 7 debuts NoticeCast, the advanced alert and notification application that provides users with sophisticated e-mail notification and integration with its core Web-based applications, PowerPlay Web, Query and Impromptu Web.
The seminars will showcase Cognos Series 7`s ability to connect people across an organisation with their business, enabling them to make timeous, fact-based decisions that optimise companies` performance.
Topics include:
* Reporting and analysis;
* Scorecarding;
* Event detection;
