Peritas is pleased to announce that IBM has released TM1 10.1, the latest version of the powerful in-memory engine at the core of Cognos analytics. We’ve discovered new and exciting ways to take advantage of the new features, so we’d love to share these insights with your organization. Here are the new areas of TM1 that we think you should know about.

Cognos Insight

With IBM® Cognos® Insight, you have the power to analyze data, explore scenarios, and influence decisions by creating managed workspaces. Use these workspaces to communicate results to line-of-business managers as interactive managed workspaces. Because Cognos Insight supports write-back, you can also use these workspaces to gather and consolidate management targets, commitments, and forecasts.

TM1 Performance Modeler

IBM® Cognos® TM1® Performance Modeler is a new component for building planning and analysis models in the Cognos TM1 environment. Cognos TM1 Performance Modeler provides a graphical user interface to make modeling more efficient and intuitive.

New TM1 Enhancements

A number of changes have been made to the core application, including installation simplicity, a new Operations Console for administrators, IPv6 support and many more.

Great news for those of you thinking of taking the first step of your information agenda.

IBM has reduced the price of all Cognos Express connectors – Reporter (Reporting & dashboards), Advisor (advanced analysis), Xcelerator (powerful write back engine) and Planner (managed planning workflow). Also included in the reduction is the Complete connector, which combines the 4 previously mentioned capabilities in one environment – for just over the cost of two.

So what does this mean? For a small investment, you can be connecting to data sources, building budgeting applications and deploying reporting & dashboards to your organization in weeks – not months. It has never made more sense to start the performance management initiative at your organization, so shoot us an email or call to find out how to get going.
