Federal Civilian Government
With Cognos Performance Blueprints, government groups gain the information they need to deliver timely, high-quality services to their citizens. Better visibility into critical issues allows for faster, more strategic responses and avoidance of negative public perceptions. By consolidating information across functions including operations, human resources, and finance, a clearer picture of overall agency performance can be analyzed. Critical choices about allocating resources and cutting or expanding programs can be made with better visibility. Budgets are made more effective by tying them to program effectiveness, and by the ability to adjust them quickly in response to changing priorities.
Defense
Defense organizations choose Cognos software and services for managing and delivering informed responses to operational challenges. Cognos Performance Blueprints give them the ability to obtain unprecedented visibility into deployable resources and accurately assess readiness status at any point in time. They gain the ability to evaluate and manage gaps in readiness and map resources against future mission requirements. Scenario planning helps align current and required resources to assure ongoing mission success
Police
Police organizations use Cognos performance management software to make better and faster decisions about crime trends and force deployments and ultimately reduce crime. With Performance Blueprints, the technical skill and time needed to produce and disseminate critical information is greatly reduced, improving public and officer safety.
Health and Human Services (HHS)
HHS organizations use Cognos performance management software to improve visibility into case management and case loads and track the skills and qualifications of caseworkers. Outcome performance can be checked against strategic objectives and benchmarks. Mandatory reporting requirements are easily satisfied with constantly updated data and sophisticated reporting. To better serve the public, HHS organizations can make agency and program performance information broadly or narrowly accessible, and securely via the Web, and provide front-line workers and supervisors with tools and information access to make better decisions.
