The company said Cognos 8 Go! Mobile for SAP delivers a rich mobile-client interface for SAP users, allowing anyone to use a handheld device to read and interact with Cognos 8 BI reports and SAP data sources. It said users can get daily dashboards, receive alerts and notifications, explore trends, or get a picture of customer status across current orders.

With the new product, Cognos said companies are able to combine mySAP data, BW data, and non-SAP transactional and warehouse data in a single consolidated view of performance information through report and metrics information.
