Strategic Analytics Innovator Cogniscape® Launches with Flagship Solution CogniViz™

 

Companies can now bridge the gap between their information and strategic insight by answering previously hard-to-address complex questions that directly affect corporate strategy

 

Philadelphia, Pa., March 27, 2007 – Cogniscape, a strategic analytics innovator that bridges the gap between information and strategic insight, today officially launched with its flagship product suite, CogniViz. CogniViz is the first strategic analytics solution that maximizes information on enterprise-wide data repositories and efficiently answers the big – or “Monster” – strategic questions that are costly, time consuming and often impossible to answer today.

 

Every business day, companies make decisions that affect their future with or without the right information.  Often, top executives turn to Enterprise Architects, IT executives, compliance officers and corporate legal departments asking significant questions about strategy changes, mergers and acquisitions, business processes, regulations and the law. 

 

Until the advent of Cogniscape’s flagship offering CogniViz, no system could anticipate and execute these types of queries – let alone answer them. Now, through CogniViz, companies can ask any question and get the answer – enabling them to make big strategic decisions with accurate, timely supporting information.  In doing so, Cogniscape is increasing corporate agility and efficiency while maximizing existing technology investments and increasing competitive advantage.

 

“Companies in global environments are routinely making significant strategic decisions.  Competitive advantage will be gained by companies that do so based on quick access to – and intelligent querying of – their enterprise-wide information,” said David Hurst, CEO, Cogniscape.  “Cogniscape creates solutions that enable this level of flexibility and query power.  CIOs, Enterprise Architects, IT executives and corporate legal departments now have a powerful ally in their quest to manage complexity, adjust processes, navigate compliance and litigation, and successfully transition through mergers and acquisitions in ways that were never before possible.”

 

The CogniViz Analytics Suite makes easy work of queries too complex for traditional business intelligence approaches.  By doing so, CogniViz marks the only strategic analytics technology solution that fully unlocks information from existing enterprise architecture and data system investments. For the first time, companies can quickly and easily conduct multidimensional analysis of numerical and non-numerical data or information, obtaining answers to complex, strategic questions – known as “Monsters” among those assigned to answer them. Decisions that used to be made on hunches can now be based on solid facts.

 

“CogniViz is a technology solution that can conveniently sit atop any variety of existing repositories and, utilizing a patent-pending interface, enable powerful ad-hoc queries of enterprise-wide data, resulting in clear reporting and visualizations.” said Hurst. “In the past, such queries have been executed manually or through hybrid manual and technological methods, which can take days, cost significant amounts of money and result in a lack of valuable information required to make truly informed strategic decisions.”

 

The CogniViz Analytics Suite and its patent-pending interface work by enabling companies to execute complex ad-hoc queries and by providing strategic, numerical and non-numerical answers from all data sets.  It is comprised of the following:

• CogniViz for Enterprise Architecture sits atop architecture repositories and configuration management databases (CMDBs) that house complex layers and categories of data and allows companies to answer complex questions and undertake strategic analysis never before possible.

• CogniViz for Compliance empowers companies to gain control of the dizzying amount of data and information resident within their compliance organizations and leverage it to ensure they maintain full visibility and transparency into their compliance processes.

• CogniViz for Legal Services fills the gap left by current eDiscovery tools by providing a means to centralize and analyze unstructured data (such as emails and document stores) as well as structured data from ERP, CRM, Financial systems, and other applications. 

• CogniViz Custom Solutions delivers custom CogniViz solutions that can close the gap between information and strategic insight.

CogniViz has two major components: the Analyst Workbench, which is used to author and publish queries and reports and is priced on a per seat basis, and the Web Reporting Server, which is used to distribute these reports to the larger corporate audience and is priced per CPU.
