The Cognos Performance Management Specialists
Contributor
Plan Collaboration and Control
  • Distributed processing. The intelligent, distributed processing of Contributor leverages a powerful Web interface that maintains fast response for thousands of concurrent users. Contributor's familiar spreadsheet look-and-feel encourages high levels of participation and collaboration.

  • Bridge the finance-to-business language gap. Contributor users enter operational data in "their own language," rather than unfamiliar financial terms. Information is then translated by preset formulas into financial data such as net income, earnings per share, or revenue per employee.

  • Accurate data. Planning information from across the enterprise is stored in a single data repository, providing an on-demand, perpetually accurate pool of planning data.

  • Instant analysis. The "breakback" feature of Contributor helps users analyze the "what-if" effects of entries across time periods, product lines, or other parameters. Input is reflected throughout the rest of their templates for instant feedback.

  • Integrated reporting. Powerful business intelligence tools for detailed, multi-dimensional reports and analyses are available at the click of a mouse.
