Working with Business Intelligence applications

Maximo IT provides a number of different tools for analyzing the large amount of data that the product produces. These Business Intelligence (BI) tools are a critical component of your business enterprise.

With the product's open reporting architecture, you can select the reporting option that meets your business, regulatory, and product needs. Business Intelligence tools include QBE, Application Exporting, Result Sets, KPIs, Ad Hoc reporting, BIRT and Cognos reporting.

Using the embedded Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT), you can design, develop, and deploy formatted, easy-to-read reports that provide detailed information about the current state of records and processes in your data center.

The product ships with a comprehensive set of built-in reports that are installed as optional content. For example, built-in reports show which configuration items (CIs) have been deleted within a certain date range; catalog requests and their statuses; the number and priority of closed tickets; and more. You can modify and supplement this set of reports to fit the needs of your business.
