Atlanta Goes Intelligent on Cognos
-- Pushpa Sathish, Staff Writer
Government agencies across Atlanta are set to clean up their acts, with the help of innovative business intelligence software from the house of Cognos. The tools will help the city to assess performance metrics for various tasks, automate revenue collection from parks and other recreational facilities, allow data to be integrated across disparate databases, create comprehensive reports without manual intervention and search, and monitor high-end data management and procurement.
The project, which is expected to cost the city $2.1 million in software and consultation fees, will be implemented by 1,000 users in the next 12 to 18 months. The Cognos 8 Business Intelligence solution will take over the tasks hitherto performed by Microsoft Excel worksheets and performance management software from CorVu. Cognos’ solution scored over similar offerings from Hyperion Solutions, Oracle and OutlookSoft.
Crime fighting, garbage disposal, pothole, road and traffic signal repairs – the tasks may be different, but the functions that govern them remain basically the same. The Cognos system will allow agency officials to harness the present work order, fleet, time and human resources management systems, and pull data from various sources and provide intelligent information for decision-making.
