Previously, Mueller deployed Cognos planning, reporting and performance applications to track key performance indicators and share its balanced scorecard with business managers. As a result, Mueller gained deeper insight into finances, customers, and internal processes and was able to evaluate market strategies to make more informed business decisions.

'With Cognos 8 BI, Mueller will benefit from having the complete range of BI capabilities, from analysis, scorecarding, and reporting, on a single, proven architecture. In addition to delivering a single point of entry for business managers to access information, Cognos 8 BI will simplify deployment and administration for the IT department. As a result, Mueller plans to standardise on Cognos 8 BI and deploy the product to a wider audience, bringing more people into its management reporting structure and allowing for even greater visibility and insight into business performance,'

said David Brierley, regional manager, Cognos Middle East and Africa.

Cognos 8 BI is a groundbreaking product that provides decision makers at all levels of the enterprise with a consistent, accurate view of information to better manage performance.
