Thanks

Re: Cognos Business Intelligence

Big question. I have to be simplistic in responding. Cognos is primarily
a suite of apps designed to facilitate the reporting and sharing of (usually pre-processed)
business data for large enterprises involving many end-users. Common uses
include the sharing of business intelligence, real-time ordering and inventory
management, unit sales, tracking percent of plan, etc. SPSS (PASW) is primarily
a suite of apps designed for the collection, preparation, and statistical analysis
of (usually raw) data, regardless of type; data can come from the scientific world,
education, business, or whatever. These apps overlap somewhat in their ability to manipulate and
merge data, create metrics, and in prediction/modeling, so some capabilities found
in one are also in the other. An example: I create data sets with variables
generated in PASW that, in turn, are used to create data cubes in Cognos Transformer,
and are then reported using Cognos Powerplay. But I would never use these
latter two apps to initially create my variables. IMHO, PASW is the far superior
platform for pure data analysis. Fellow listers, please take me to task if I have misrepresented
anything! From: SPSSX(r) Discussion

Well said – particularly the last sentence. COGNOS is
designed for naïve end users who need ad hoc reporting and it is cumbersome and
slow for data manipulation. Cindy Gregory, PhD New Mexico Public Education Department, Chief Statistician Jerry Apodaca Bldg, 300 Don Gaspar, Santa Fe, NM 87501 (505) 827-6508 From: SPSSX(r) Discussion

Thanks for that interesting overview of Cognos. I think most of
us are very curious about the other IBM products and how they might link into
SPSS.

Hi Bob,
You probably already saw this, but there are some early rumors that SPSS will be embedded! I have said for a while now that I could do everything I need EXCEPT create Executive-level reports with SPSS. We invested in Cognos prior to the acquisition and I can't state how excited am at the possibilities of reporting my results across my division using Cognos. http://www.infoworld.com/d/applications/ibms-cognos-bi-platform-embed-spss- add-social-networking-788?source=rss_infoworld_news - Brock P.S. Your book is fantastic. ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

Hi List
Since the features of SPSS will be embedded in Cognos, does this mean that SPSS will not be available as a product?

Cognos is embedding only a small part of the functionality of SPSS Statistics. Jon Peck SPSS, an IBM Company [hidden email] 312-651-3435
