The informatique-Banques Populaires in France, has purchased a Web-based business intelligence solution that will be used enterprise-wide, from business intelligence company, Cognos. The deal, closed in Cognos` third fiscal quarter, was won in a competitive bid.
Informatique-Banques Populaires is part of the Banque Populaire Group, a network of regional co-operative banks. Five hundred employees in sales, finance, and marketing will use Cognos Impromptu Web Reports and Cognos PowerPlay via each bank`s web portal to analyse and report on factors like key financial metrics, customer data, and profitability.
"We needed a zero-footprint solution that would allow us to perform powerful analysis and managed reporting quickly and easily," says Dominique Mahot, Financial E.O. of the Banque Populaire Loire et Lyonnais. "Cognos was the clear choice for Banque Populaire as the breadth and depth of its business intelligence offering is simply the most robust solution in the market today."
"Banque Populaire is a terrific example of the strong growth Cognos continues to see in Europe. Some of the world`s leading companies have turned to Cognos business intelligence to deliver value on their existing technology investments and to fully maximise their business data.
