Cognos ReportNet™
The standard for enterprise query and reporting

Cognos ReportNet is the first all-in-one reporting software that lets you create, modify, and distribute any report you require—invoices, statements, weekly activity and board reports. You can standardise all enterprise reporting not simply with one vendor—with one product and architecture.

Cognos ReportNet eliminates the need for multiple reporting tools and the resulting costs due to duplicated training, maintenance, administration, servers, support, and lack of consistency in the information users need to make decisions.

The software is simple to manage, with zero-footprint deployment, scalability to support hundreds of thousands of users, and ability to integrate with any application or environment you have.

Most importantly, Cognos ReportNet is easy for users. Even the most novice of users can build all manner of reports with drag-and-drop simplicity. Yet, its powerful features satisfy advanced users' need to create complex queries and dynamic, multi-object reports. Cognos ReportNet is an integrated component of comprehensive BI from Cognos.

Comprehensive reporting coverage. Author and deliver queries, managed reports for many users, power-user business reports, and batch-type production reporting.

New dynamic, multi-object reports. Create reports containing any number of report objects—charts, cross tabs, and lists—as well as non-BI components such as images, logos, and live embedded applications that can be linked to the information. Queries can draw data from any database or a combination of databases and be linked together or left as independent.

Completely Web-based. Built on Web services technologies, Cognos ReportNet can be easily integrated with any application or environment.

Proven scalability. In deployments ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 named users, Cognos ReportNet delivered average report view times of less then 2.5 seconds. In production reporting tests, Cognos ReportNet yielded 78 pages per second—6.7 million report pages per day.

Flexible report presentation. Users can arrange report objects on the page simply by dragging and dropping them into the report authoring window. The adaptive report authoring environment automatically arranges report objects in the window each time one is added or removed.

Integrated with Cognos BI. Cognos ReportNet is tightly integrated with the other Cognos BI components. You can embed Cognos PowerPlay Web applications and Cognos Visualizer dashboards, charts and maps in its reports. Cognos NoticeCast alerts can include hyperlinks to Cognos ReportNet reports. Cognos Metrics Manager's "reporting tab" can embed Cognos ReportNet reports as live applications.
