Report Writer Resources

The Cognos Report Writer is a comprehensive reporting tool that lets you create, modify, and distribute any report your company requires-invoices, statements, weekly sales and inventory reports. You can standardize all enterprise reporting not simply with one vendor-with one product and architecture. It 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 tool is simple to manage, with zero-footprint deployment, scalability to support hundreds of thousands of users, and comes integrated with enrich.
