Garching/Munich, 25 September 2008 – b.telligent, one of the leading management consultancies for business intelligence (BI) and reporting solutions in Central Europe, has formed a partnership with Cognos, an IBM Company and a globally leading provider of business intelligence and performance management solutions.
The amount of data generated in businesses is growing rapidly – just like the potential of this data to optimize business processes. In order to tap this potential, the data amount must be distilled into relevant information and refined as needed for presentation to the management. In particular in the management of daily operations, the need for individualized reporting solutions increases. Non-existent best practices for the use of modern reporting systems and difficulties in communications between the specialist and the IT departments, however, often cause the reporting solutions to fall short of the expectations of the business users.
The Munich-based management consultancy b.telligent provides a remedy for this. Fabian Jasinski, Manager of the Competence Center Reporting: „Relevant information should be exactly one mouse click away from the decision maker and should then be intuitively comprehensible. It is rare that both criteria are fulfilled, often, none of them is. Frequently, the use is made considerably more complicated by inappropriate formats, burdensome access, and too much or too little information. For most users, these points are a nuisance in the hectic pace of everyday business; it is quite frequently, therefore, that reporting solutions are not used any more in practice in these cases.”
“Here, b.telligent is able to provide solutions because as consultants for business intelligence we connect both worlds”, continues Jasinski. “On the technical side, we have comprehensive know-how with innovative and market leading reporting systems. Together with the substantive experience from our projects, we are able to offer decision makers reporting solutions which fit their information needs like a tailored suit. We are happy about the new partnership with Cognos. The advanced technology of the product portfolio helps us to complete projects on time, at calculable costs and in excellent quality.”
“IBM Cognos is a strategic partner in reporting for many of our customers. Therefore, we are happy about the new form of cooperation” says Sebastian Amtage, managing director of b.telligent. “As consulting partner of Cognos and as experts for business intelligence and business processes, we are able to provide a significant advantage both to our existing and to new customers because of the intensive cooperation.”
