Communicate complex business information quickly and intuitively
Cognos Visualizer uses sophisticated visual reports ("visualizations") to communicate complex business data quickly and intuitively. Using visualizations, you can display multiple measures simultaneously and create dashboards with a diverse selection of maps and charts. When people view several reports at once, they can see how information correlates and make better decisions. Cognos Visualizer is an integrated component of the comprehensive BI from Cognos.
Dashboard views. See the significant trends and relationships in your business performance with complex data presented in a simple visual format.
Instant-impact visuals. Display your data in multiple 2D and 3D charts; color-coded, drillable maps; and animated reports. Adapt visual maps to your industry: automotive customers can use a car image to map warranty claims and spot quality issues. Health agencies can use a human body to map common trauma injuries.
Aggregate displays. Combine multiple business measures in any visual format to make connections and spot trends.
Business intelligence integration. Your dashboards draw from existing BI data sources—multidimensional OLAP data, Excel spreadsheets, dBase files, flat files, and most relational databases.
Interactive exploration. Zoom in on areas of interest and rotate the visual for a fresh perspective. Instantly drill through to reports for more detail.
Strategic communication. Cognos Visualizer's statistical charts measure mean, median, standard deviation, percentiles, variation, and frequency distribution. Chart types include histogram, thermometer, control limits, and trend, all fully customizable with many options for color, animation, and layout. These can support your strategic initiatives such as Six Sigma, ISO Certification, or Total Quality Management.
Six Sigma—smarter. Cognos Visualizer provides an intuitive presentation layer for Six Sigma data and reports. You can use its multiple graphic reports to convey defect rates, performance thresholds, and other information in an easy-to-understand format. Reporting and analysis capabilities from Cognos Visualizer give you answers throughout the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) stages of Six Sigma. You can analyze cost of poor quality, identify bottlenecks in supply chains, isolate specific defects in manufacturing, errors in accounting, and other "defects".
