BiLog: Maximo 76....New Cognos BI Features and Resources
Body
I have a dispute...with a yardstick. He proudly displayed 'Everything you Want' after another 11.5" of snow was received. With a total snowfall of over 90" in the last 4 weeks, I could only shake my frozen, wool scarf and hat covered head in dismay.
The new Cognos BI Features in Maximo 76 give you 'Everything You Want'. New entitlement to the Cognos10.2.1 BI Server gives you direct access to its powerful enterprise tools including Cognos Workspace, Workspace Advanced, Report Studio, Query Studio and the Cognos Connection. Additionally, more Cognos tools are available for you including Cognos Insight, Dynamic Query Analyzer and Life Cycle Manager.
To streamline your learning curve on these new tools, the Maximo meta data publishing process has been significantly enhanced. Capitalizing on its Integration Framework, Site, Set and Organization data restrictions are automatically appended to individual objects within the meta data to insure your users only view that data they have access to in Cognos.
New access points have been added to enable your business and power users to quickly navigate to the Cognos BI Tools. These include a new Analytics menu within Maximo, and also a direct sign into Cognos.
Maximo Cognos Content, often referred to as BI Packs, is also being delivered in Maximo 76. Using the vast amounts of powerful data that Maximo collects, a series of reports and workspaces focusing on Work Order, Asset, Asset Failure and Inventory Management is available. This series enables you to run and schedule individual metric reports or view real-time metric graphs on dynamic, configurable application workspaces. Trending workspaces are also available to display metric performance in weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly views to see if your performance is degrading or improving.
