Key Features
SpotOn Vantage is off-the-shelf software that seamlessly integrates third-party visualizations, such as live, interactive maps from ESRI, Flex, Fusion Charts, or Dundas directly into your IBM Cognos 8 BI reports.
More specifically, SpotOn Vantage enables the following functions:
- SpotOn Vantage MapOutbound Data Services: Allows IBM Cognos-defined report data to be accessed externally via industry standard methods (ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC, etc).
- Inbound Visualization Services: Seamless integration of external visualizations (GIS, charts, etc) into the IBM Cognos report.
- Interaction Services: Enables report objects (native IBM Cognos and 3rd party) to communicate without rerunning the report (e.g. map gesture filters a chart, drill down alters the view of the visualization, etc.)
Cost-effective and proven, SpotOn Vantage will allow your organization to immediately benefit from these features at a fraction of the expense, time, and risk of a hand coded solution.
