Key Functions

Rich Basemaps

Choose from any of the Esri basemaps to enhance BI data visualization. Easily overlay multiple basemaps in a single visualization, such as streetmaps and satellite imagery.

Pan and Zoom

Pan and zoom to your area of interest directly inside the IBM Cognos BI report.

Analyze Regions

Provide instant visualization of key business measures in a highly visual way. A single map can symbolize multiple business measures, which can be viewed and analyzed in the context of standard regions (such as State, County, ZIP) or based on custom regions.

Analyze Points

View and analyze specific points or groups of points on a map, with key measures or attributes of things like sales outlets, customers, or equipment symbolized using any custom graphic or color scheme.

Map to Report Object Broadcasts

Use intuitive spatial query tools to update the content of the report. Easily use rectangular or radial selections, polygons, and buffered lines to select regions and/or points on the map, and update related report content based on the selection.

Drill Through

For either relational or OLAP data, easily drill through from higher to lower-level regions. For example, drill into a state view of sales to see sub-regions like ZIP code.

Query Map Layers

Easily query data in map services to discover relationships with IBM Cognos BI data. For example, correlate data in IBM Cognos BI report objects with map data like weather events or demographics.
