April 1, 2005—Datastream Systems, Inc. has announced an OEM partnership with Cognos, the world leader in business intelligence and Corporate Performance Management (CPM). This alliance provides Datastream customers with new capabilities for analyzing and reporting cross-enterprise asset performance, according to Datastream.
The partnership enables Datastream to integrate Cognos market-leading Cognos ReportNet solution into the new Datastream 7i Advanced Reporting module.
Using Datastream 7i Advanced Reporting, users can produce invoices, statements and advanced graphical reports as well as a broad range of business reports, all through a single Web-based reporting solution. This enables customers to analyze their asset data in new ways so they can gain much greater visibility into the costs of operations and the performance of individual assets.
Reports can be configured to provide in-depth information on equipment failure according to equipment type, or failure analysis by failure code. Reports can be layered so users can drill down to get increasingly specific information simply by clicking on embedded hyperlinks in each report.
