Cognos and IBM have extended their global alliance to deliver a workforce performance management solution through IBM's Human Resources Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO) service. Under terms of the agreement, IBM has selected Cognos 8 Workforce Performance as a standard analytic and reporting solution to be delivered within its full-service Human Capital Management (HCM) outsourcing solutions.
The addition of Cognos 8 Workforce Performance extends IBM services to its clients by teaming their HCM capabilities with valuable analytic insight into workforce trends and influencing factors within the talent management cycle. This includes visibility into key performance areas such as workforce strength, employee turnover, compensation and incentives, talent segmentation and performance ratings.
IBM selected Cognos' next-generation analytic application because of the solution's packaged workforce content, and its ability to quickly adapt to a wide range of customer and business requirements. The Cognos 8 Workforce Performance solution is a configurable analytic application designed to reflect a company's human resources best practices, leveraging a library of pre-packaged reports and analytics on a wide range of key workforce metrics, which Cognos says can be easily modified or extended with the evolving information needs of the business.
