Explore and analyze data from any angle, in any combination--to quickly identify factors that are not readily found. Report and share these results by publishing them to the Upfront EBI portal.

Cognos PowerPlay enables anyone--beyond traditional Report Authors and Business Analysts--to perform their own multidimensional analysis and create reports on OLAP (Online analytical processing) data in a Web, Windows, or Excel environment. Decision-makers at any level can conduct the analysis they need to make critical decisions. Then, they can equip their e-Business colleagues and partners with reports based on this analysis by publishing them through the Cognos Upfront portal. With a single mouse click, report consumers can convert these results from PDF format to a dynamic PowerPlay Web report that allows them to explore and analyze the underlying OLAP data and then share their own findings with others.

Cognos PowerPlay is an integral part of the Cognos EBI solution.
