IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance
Overview
With a graying workforce, an impending skills gap, and increased competition for employees, it is imperative that HR professionals be able to accurately and effectively answer questions like:
- Who are our top performers?
- Are we offering these high-performing employees the right incentives and opportunities to keep them motivated and loyal?
- What impact could an impending skills gap have on our organization's ability to serve our stakeholders?
- How well does the workforce align with corporate objectives?
IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance is a packaged analytic application that provides interactive insight into workforce issues. With consolidated reporting from multiple systems, it can analyze factors such as workforce strength, talent acquisition, talent development, talent retention, employee performance, and compensation. It transforms data from PeopleSoft and SAP Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) into actionable information by calculating additional business information (for example, end dates), which doesn’t exist natively in the HRMS.
Value for the Business
IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance delivers faster time to value by providing packaged best-practice content for executives, managers, business analysts, and HR specialists. And it has the ability to perform in-depth analysis by filtering and drilling through to details at the transaction level.
Value to IT
Faster than building a solution in-house, and unlike competing packaged solutions, IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance adapts to changing business needs quickly and cost-effectively, without requiring coding by IT experts. It includes pre-built connectors to ERPs, easy connection to additional data sources, an adaptable, embedded data warehouse, and hundreds of packaged reports.
The Cognos Difference
IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance is part of an entirely new class of analytic applications built on the Cognos 8 platform—applications that are simply configured, not laboriously customized at great cost and delay. All configuration changes—during initial deployment and subsequently—are automatically retained in a software model. This ensures that the solution can be upgraded with your unique changes preserved across both HRMS and analytic application updates.
Cognos, an IBM company, delivers the software and services that help HR become a stronger strategic asset within your organization. With IBM Cognos 8 Workforce Performance, you can align staffing needs with strategic goals, identify and retain the right people, align compensation and headcount plans with corporate priorities, and face the workforce challenges of the next decade with confidence.
