Data is most valuable when it connects to the real world. Too often, it’s difficult to understand how massive spreadsheets relate to real-world events in a particular time and place.
That’s where geospatial mapping capabilities can help. By making the connection between a particular data point and its relevance to the real world, mapping makes it far easier to see large-scale trends, local phenomena and change over time. Organizations such as commercial entities, governments, utilities and service agencies can quickly gain a broad, yet in-depth, understanding of phenomena including crime, fires, service requests, equipment malfunctions and more. Maps areas can be as broad as a country or as detailed as a street and can include multiple layers of information such as terrain, administrative boundaries, sales territories and more.
With Cognos Analytics, you get all the power of an enterprise-ready mapping solution, but without the complexity. Thanks to built-in intuitive data discovery and intelligent self-service dashboarding, even inexperienced users can quickly start mapping their data and deriving new insights. Geospatial insights can be integrated into reports for easy sharing throughout the organization.
