Integrated Control Suite (US Patent 7,945,589)

ICS’s patented technology provides IBM Cognos customers version control, content management, source control, recovery, performance monitoring, deployment and compliance reporting within their business analytics environment. This truly integrated solution is paving the way IBM Business Partners develop value-added software within the IBM Cognos business analytics environment.

ICS: Integrated Version Control

IVC simplifies and streamlines the process of continuously preserving IBM Cognos content in the event changes need to be audited or the information needs to be recovered. IVC’s innovative approach to integrating directly within the IBM Cognos interface allows the product to appear and behave as if it were part of the core IBM Cognos product suite. IVC includes versioning, comparison, recovery, locking, promotion, broadcast messaging, reporting and more.

ICS: Integrated Client Versioning

Integrated Client Versioning provides a version control solution for folders and files located on a Windows file system. This functionality was designed specifically for providing version control capabilities for Framework Manager and Transformer models in an integrated and secured manner, enabling control over who has access to this content within the organization.

ICS: Integrated Change Management

As an extension to Version Control, Change Management is designed for companies that desire workflow and process around their development efforts. With Change Management, all public content is required to be checked out prior to making modifications.

ICS: Integrated Deployment Manager

Deployment Manager provides Administrators the ability to promote objects in bulk to a target IBM Cognos environment from directly within the source IBM Cognos Administration Console. When coupled with Integrated Version Control, Administrators can opt to allow Authors to tag reports onto a promotion project, enabling collaboration between Authors and Administrators.

ICS: Integrated Archive Service

Archive Service provides an automated and secure process for archiving report outputs to a database external to the IBM Cognos Content Store. Over time, report outputs can burden the Content Store, causing possible performance degradation and upgrade challenges. Archive Service enables the Content Store to remain a metadata repository and not a content management system.

ICS: Integrated Recycle Bin

Recycle Bin provides an insurance policy for IBM Cognos users as they manage content in Public and My Folders. Typically when an object is deleted from the IBM Cognos Content Store, that object is permanently obliterated and cannot be recovered without a backup. The Integrated Recycle Bin captures these objects into a recycle bin prior to deleting from the content store. Users can recover their own content with the click of a button directly within IBM Cognos Connection.

ICS: Integrated Report Documenter

Report Documenter captures vital information from report definitions so Report Authors can focus on the development lifecycle of company content and not worry about the documentation that must accompany it.  IRD is tightly integrated into IBM Cognos studios so that Authors can document report definitions right from within the authoring environment itself.
