The requirement for accurate and timely forecasting of corporate results increases every day. Fuelled by the demands of the web-driven world for instant access to information, financial managers are expected to be able to predict the financial impact of each big decision - in days, or even hours.
But don't despair! Real-time driver-based forecasts are now possible - using Cognos Express and Cornerstone's experienced consulting team.
IBM Cognos Express includes everything you need for immediate use in a pre-configured solution.

There is no extra burden on IT staff and no additional investment in software infrastructure.
