Cognos is the world leader in business intelligence and performance planning software for the enterprise. This video was recorded in November 2004 at the Cognos Performance 2004 user seminar in Birmingham, England. It focuses on the success of the EMIR project at Chubb Insurance.

Cognos’ solutions let companies improve and direct corporate performance by enabling all of the key steps in the management cycle, from planning and budgeting, to measuring and monitoring performance, to reporting and analysis. Cognos PowerPlay is used to deliver most EMIR reports.

During the interview, I explain the business drivers that led to EMIR, describe the project and cover some of the benefits it has yielded.
