IBM partners with higher education leaders to create blueprints for performance management. IBM Cognos Performance Blueprints are pre-defined data, process and policy software models that provide streamlined planning, forecasting, analysis and reporting functionality. They are essentially “quickstart” data models that Cognos customers can download and implement on their own at no extra cost.
Blueprints enable organizations to quickly align strategic objectives, operational plans, people and activities. Most important, they help drive faster ROI and reduce the total cost of ownership.
