Application Workbench

Model Driven Framework

IBM Cognos® Application Workbench uses a model-driven framework and a built-in common dimension foundation to develop, adapt and extend business intelligence applications.

IBM Cognos Application Workbench helps organisations gain richer insights faster, by enabling them to rapidly design, build and deliver BI applications organisation-wide. It automatically generates end-to-end applications—from data source to warehouse to reports to fully guided analysis.

• Model-driven workbench for developing new BI applications or extending existing applications rapidly, placing application design in the hands of business users
• Adaptive, extensible framework, readily upgradeable and responsive to changing business requirements, so organisations never outgrow the solution
• Automated generation of BI applications, with no need for specialist skills, time-consuming coding or manual change-management processes
• Common dimensions to provide a consistent information foundation—regardless of who builds the application or when
• Enterprise-class platform that provides the performance, scalability and self-service capabilities of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence.
