IBM business intelligence

Theta works with the following IBM BI and information management products

Cognos

Cognos provides reports, analysis, dashboards and scoreboards to help support the way people think and work when they are trying to understand business performance.  Staff can freely explore information, analyse key facts and quickly collaborate using any device, desktop, laptop or mobile, to align decisions with key stakeholders.

IBM InfoSphere

The IBM InfoSphere platform provides the foundation building blocks of trusted information, including data integration, data warehousing, master data management, big data and information governance.  This platform is very stable, having been in constant development for almost 20 years, and provides an enterprise-class foundation for information-intensive projects, providing the performance, scalability, reliability and acceleration needed to simplify difficult challenges and deliver trusted information to the organisation.

The main benefits of this platform include the ability to:

• reverse engineer existing, and design new, logical, physical and dimensional data models;
• provide metadata integration and data lineage insight across the entire data integration and BI supply chain;
• access “always-on” operational data integration and data quality;
• scale and optimise infrastructure in a linear fashion;
• leverage productivity and organisational efficiency from a common data management platform, not just for BI and data warehouse, but a host of other data integration projects;
• facilitate collaboration to bridge the gap between business and IT;
• introduce information governance;
• scale to a proven big data capability when needed;
• link to the IBM Cognos BI platform via metadata.
