Consultants of Gordon & Webster Inc. have been taking part in international and domestic Cognos projects as subcontractors. The Rumanian subsidiary of Gordon & Webster Inc. has been granted the exclusive right to represent Cognos, the most widespread company information system of the world. As a result, the most highlighted branch of the Rumanian company is Cognos.

Represented Cognos products: Reportnet, PowerPlay, Impromptu, Impromptu Web Reports, Query, Metrics Manager, Visualizer, Decision Stream, Analitical Applications, Thought, Scenario.

Cognos is a device that quickly and visibly explores analytical opportunities of company databases. Analysis is carried out with a multi-dimension (OLAP) device named PowerPlay. Required information may be retrieved from various databases: company databases, data warehouses or external systems. Examinations may have various focuses, like according to sales cycles, exploded to consumers or cities, or by delivery methods.

At the beginning of the process the analyser creates a snapshot (data cube) about the prevailing database, as a dynamically changing environment may also be analysed. This cube is a structured and optimised dataset containing every dimension and view, in accordance with the given parameter setting. Data to be evaluated may be viewed as tables, interactive diagrams and traditional numbers. Views may be changed by simple clicks. Information layers may be drilled-down, thus fundamental data may be retrieved, by which trends and guidelines may be quantified.

Cognos ReportNet facilitates a fully web-based company statement compilation. Standard reports - invoices, coverages, reports regulated by laws - and custom-made reports be also created.

Deep correlations in the created data cubes may be presented with Scenario. This tool employs spectacular graphic device to interpret company processes and the efficiency of units in comparison to one another. Based on the factors deemed important the operation of our company and the results of our decisions may be viewed in a clear and transparent way. (As the analysed data may be studies by months, past decisions may also be evaluated by the occurred consequences.) With such information decision making processes shorten considerably. With regular analysis changes may be followed, thus the company will be more cost-effective and the management will have more room for manoeuvring.

After fishing out trends and concourses with the help of Scenario, we may summarise the updated and detailed data and create the necessary statements. This is facilitated by Impromptu. If any time during the PowerPlay analysis users are interested in data behind the trends, a simple click will start the Impromptu statement that immediately presents the required details. The impromptu catalogues present data by business viewpoints and not by the physical construction of the databases. By selecting the appropriate Internet/intranet abilities of Impromptu, reports may be handled in HTML format and may be accessed from the workstations of the company.
