Why use this Balanced Scorecard software:	The information is not available in trial report. Learn more in full version.
Who should use this software	Organizations concerned about making a ‘statistical approach’ towards the performance issues will find the solution worth implementing. The aim for developing this solution is to 'make companies realize that collection of data does not run a company. It is the analyses and conclusions drawn from these aggregates that serve the purpose'. It introduces flexibility, scalability in the operations, together with joining the seemingly ‘scattered’ pieces of the organizational processes. For instance, a massive sized credit union could come out of a strong economic storm, without any negative impacts owing to the timely deployment of Cognos software. This act warned the management, beforehand, of reducing sub-prime loans, thereby saving the firm from ill-effects of the downturn.
