MeLLmo, a provider of innovative mobile apps that allow users to view and interact with critical business information on-the-go, announced a system integration partnership. The companies will work together to deploy
MeLLmo’s Roambi ES3, which transforms IBM Cognos reports and data into secure, interactive mobile dashboards for any iPhone or iPad.

We will be showcasing the latest release of our award-winning SpotOn Vantage software at the ESRI Federal User Conference in Washington, DC from February 17-18, 2010.
Should you be at the event, we encourage you to visit us within the IBM booth (#302) to receive a personalized demonstration of the tremendous analytical benefits of integrating ESRI maps within an IBM Cognos dashboard.
While there, make sure that you also check out the demonstration of the IBM Maximo Asset Management software.
Although biased, we believe that your venturing through the copious amounts of snow to meet with us in Washington next week will definitely be worth your effort.
We hope to see you there!

Today we held a 45-minute webinar on "Integrating Maps into IBM Cognos". The session drew record attendance and turned out to be our most popular online event to date.
The webinar showcased the use of the latest release of our award-winning SpotOn Vantage software to quickly integrate a fully interactive ESRI map into an IBM Cognos report. We also introduced our bundled SpotOn Vantage/ESRI ArcGIS Online Map Services offering. This package enables IBM Cognos clients that are currently without in-house GIS resources to easily and cost-effectively integrate maps into their IBM Cognos reports.
For those that attended, thanks for your active participation. Your questions were terrific! Your positive comments and emails afterwards were also very much appreciated.
As promised, a recorded version of the event along with the slides will be posted on our site shortly.
In February we will host a webinar that showcases the use of SpotOn Vantage to integrate advanced visualizations from FusionCharts into your IBM Cognos reports. At the tail end of today's webinar, Darren, our CTO, gave a sneak peak of what you will see next month. Cool stuff.
Should you be interested in this next webinar, please continue to visit our website for the event specifics. Better yet, sign up for our newsletter to stay informed on all of our future events.
Thanks.
