IBM Cognos Express Planner transforms a company's planning processes, enabling business users to react quickly to changing business conditions. It replaces slow, cumbersome manual planning processes with automated daily, weekly or monthly planning tools using the latest, accurate data.
IBM Cognos Express Planner streamlines information gathering, modeling, aggregation and analysis for continuous planning, budgeting and forecasting. A managed contribution model is used to collect input from systems and staff in any division or location. Managers can quickly model, assemble and deploy planning solutions while monitoring the status of every participant in the planning process. Contributors can use an intuitive interface to contribute plan data and perform personalized analysis.
