  • Cognos Active Report now provides the flexibility to incorporate new and innovative chart types as well as more interactive versions of existing charts. IBM Rapidly Adaptive Visualisation Engine (RAVE) visualisations enhance the Cognos Active Report consumption experience across consumption environments that include mobile devices. Report authors benefit from an improved authoring experience when RAVE visualisations are used. Enhanced flexibility provides the opportunity to customize charts to meet business-specific needs. Highly adaptive, the RAVE framework represents a paradigm shift for delivering value to organisations through visualisation.

  • Cognos Dynamic Cubes now deliver more efficient memory usage for data intensive queries at large scales, a reduced memory footprint for data, and aggregate caches and improved aggregate selection logic to choose the aggregate with lower query cost.
  • Cognos Active Report leverages improved use of compression and engine optimisation providing smaller files with faster load times, which equates to the ability to include more data and a reduced memory footprint.
  • Cognos Mobile leverages the Cognos Business Intelligence server to provide high-fidelity reports including support for formatting, drilling, and prompts. In addition, it delivers faster reports by retrieving and presenting multipage reports one page at a time reducing peak server loads and allowing users to open and interact with large reports quickly.
