IBM Cognos Supportlink

By Michael Morrison - Vice President and General Manager, Financial Performance Management & Barbara Cain - Vice President, Customer Success and Support

On October 25, 2007, Cognos reinforced our commitment to providing the most complete financial performance management solutions to our customers with the acquisition of Applix, Inc. We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all Applix customers and partners.

After investing in ERP, CRM, and other information systems over the last decade, most companies these days aren't lacking for data. But what they are waking up to is a new concern: Can the data be trusted?

The latest Cognos Performance Blueprint is designed to help customers improve their core financial processes while helping them meet the strict requirements of the European Union’s International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Performance 2007 is this year's chance for Cognos customers to get together in a nearby city—the event is held all over North America and Europe—and learn about the latest trends and directions in performance management. The Performance event is the biggest Cognos experience of the year, and Cognos pulls out all the stops for the event's keynote address.
