Cognos 8 Go! Mobile Key Features

• Single Authoring Environment - BI report authors can write a report once

and know that every user can access it, regardless of language, locale, or
consumption approach (Web, search, mobile, desktop productivity suite, and
more). The Cognos 8 Go! Mobile client formats the data for the device so IT
and business authors do not need a separate mobile authoring environment.

interface that delivers a true business intelligence experience. It allows users to
read and interact with Cognos 8 BI reports, dashboards, metrics, and other
information through their mobile device.

• Theft and Loss Protection - Cognos 8 Go! Mobile offers single security
augmented for mobile needs, encryption during data transfer and on the
device, plus access keys and a remote locking function for the device database.

Cognos 8 Go! Mobile Key Features (Cont..)

• Disconnected and Offline Use - Cognos 8 Go! Mobile offers the ability
for users to continue to access their reports while they are offline,
allowing them to continue working while traveling or if the device is not
within connectivity range.

• Optimized Interactive Experience - Users can use the new Cognos 8

Go! Mobile application on their devices to navigate through reports
intuitively. It leverages native mobile device functionality so they can
easily see, interpret, and interact with the information they need.

• Efficient Data Compression - Cognos 8 Go! Mobile compresses data

before transmission and again once the report is saved on the device.
This means users spend more time getting insight into the business and
less time waiting for reports to download.
