MCI Consultants, premier IBM business partner and a leading IBM Cognos distributor in Africa, today announced the release of Cognos Express version 9.5, which extends its inherent planning capabilities and further differentiates IBM's mid-market business performance management platform from its competitors.
“Cognos Express was the single product across vendors to provide integrated reporting, analysis and planning for the mid-market,” commented Filip Vanden Houte, Partner at MCI Consultants.
“This latest release significantly enhances the previous version of the product and addresses many of the requirements that have been identified by those organisations in the mid-market.”
The new features of Cognos Express 9.5 include:
* A new Cognos Express Planner module, for rapid deployment of managed planning applications;
* Simplified metadata modelling;
* Enhanced dashboards;
* New licensing flexibility that includes a cost-effective consumer role; and
* An embedded OLAP server based on TM1 9.5.1.
“Organisations of all sizes need to be able to have access to the right information, at the right time and in the right place, in order to enable them to make better business decisions,” concluded Vanden Houte. “This latest version, specifically orientated at the mid-market, enhances their ability to do precisely that and thus provides the relevant information at their fingertips. MCI Consultants has the certified specialists available to help organisations implement solutions on Cognos Express.”
