Hi Rajeev,
IBM Cognos Planning Analytics would fit your task as it is excellent BI product and strong Forecasting capabilities.
Planning Analytics is for Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting for the enterprises whereas Cognos Controller would help with financial close and consolidation.
All three products would be perfect for a company as in this blog posted by our Program Director Mike McGeein.

Subject: Difference between Cognos Analytics with Watson, Cognos Planning Analytics, and Cognos Controller
It appears there is no thin line of difference between Cognos Analytics with Watson, Cognos Planning Analytics, and Cognos Controller. Is it true that many of the tasks can be done both through Cognos Analytics with Watson and Cognos Planning Analytics subscription and both are part of business analytics?
Suppose for this project, an analysis is made of real life data from the New York Stock Exchange drawing a subset of a large dataset provided by Kaggle that contains historical financial data from S&P 500 companies. Which one should be chosen?
1. Cognos Analytics with Watson
2. Cognos Planning Analytics
3. Cognos Controller
