IBM Cognos Analytics

IBM Cognos Analytics is a comprehensive business intelligence and reporting platform that provides dashboards, data visualisation, automated reports and AI-powered analytics. Cognos combines classic BI functionalities with modern self-service approaches and is strongly geared towards governance and business requirements.

The platform is primarily aimed at medium-sized and large companies that require complex reporting and governance structures. Cognos is particularly popular in regulated industries such as finance, the public sector, healthcare and energy. For SMEs with simple requirements, Cognos is often too complex, whereas it is a robust solution for enterprise customers.
