seen significant improvements
in turnaround times and
overall workflow practices,
while reporting users have
learned to fish for their own
information requirements
utilising the Cognos BI
environment.
We’ve created a catalog of
analytics services that could be
rolled out repeatedly to different
countries, at minimal cost and
risk. The basic services were
designed to be the same for all
countries, but we ensured that it
would still be possible to localise
them for specific languages,
currencies and legal or regulatory
requirements.
