All of the out-of-the-box Vantage plug-ins (
Vantage Maps,
Vantage Gantt, and
Vantage Charts) are based on powerful features that enable the following:
-
Outbound Data Services: Allows IBM Cognos-defined report data to be accessed externally via industry standard methods (ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC, etc).
- Inbound Visualization Services: Seamless integration of external visualizations (GIS, charts, etc) in an IBM Cognos report.
- Interaction Services: Enables report objects (native IBM Cognos and 3rd party) to communicate without rerunning the report (e.g. map gesture filters a chart, drill down alters the view of the visualization, etc.)
If you have a niche application of some kind, you can easily integrate it with your enterprise business intelligence so you have one trusted and secured access point for your business data.
Cost-effective and proven, SpotOn Vantage allows organizations to immediately benefit from these features at a fraction of the expense, time, and risk of a custom coded solution.
No matter whether your goal is 'spatial awareness' in your IBM Cognos Business Intelligence with the integration of interactive maps, to add sizzle using advanced visualization options, or to eliminate stand-alone application information silos. SpotOn Vantage is a trusted solution that will deliver your desired results.
