Yantra Selected as Cognos(R) Business Intelligence Partner
Partnership Enables Intelligent Business Decisions Across the Extended Trading Networks
TEWKSBURY, Mass., Sept. 26 -- Yantra Corporation (http://www.yantra.com), a leading provider of multi-enterprise commerce management solutions today announced a new business agreement with Cognos(R) (Nasdaq: COGN; Toronto: CSN), the leading provider of business intelligence solutions. Yantra will OEM Cognos` market-leading business intelligence solutions in its multi-enterprise commerce suite.
The partnership leverages Yantra`s multi-enterprise order and inventory management applications and Cognos Impromptu(R) and PowerPlay(R), industry- leading reporting tools that enable users to easily collect, query, and report mission critical transaction data across their extended trading networks. The integration of the products has already been completed.
"The real opportunities for new revenues and profits in Global 2000 companies are being found outside the four walls of their enterprises," said Robert Sweeney, vice president of product management for Yantra. " In order for a business to fully leverage these opportunities, it must be able to quickly and easily obtain, extract and analyze information from across its extended enterprise. This partnership provides our customers with new levels of visibility across their extended demand and supply networks. It improves decision making, performance measurement and helps companies hone in on the real cost, profit and customer service drivers in their value chains." Using Impromptu, Yantra users gain quick and easy access to mission- critical transaction reports in real-time. PowerPlay provides Yantra users with a complete, browser-based performance measurement reporting and analysis environment, enabling users to quickly view and analyze data graphically, eliminating user training and maintenance.
"Yantra`s extended enterprise view and the richness of data available in its multi-enterprise applications significantly impact the way companies manage their value chains," said Ted Jandl, Cognos area vice president of North American channel sales. "This partnership ensures that customers can explore and analyze transactional data from any angle, in any combination-to quickly identify factors and make consistent, coordinated decisions to strengthen their internal and external trading relationships."
