Empowering business users plays an integral role in driving such effective performance management practices by ensuring that users are better informed and engaged with the right data, where, when and how it is needed.

Today, further expanding IBM's IOD strategy ensuring businesses are using information as a strategic asset, Cognos (an IBM company) announces IBM Cognos 8 v4, the newest version of the Cognos 8 enterprise-class platform, which is designed to help organizations achieve this goal by aligning performance information strategically to optimize business processes.
