YouTube find: MB Dashboards for Cognos 8

A UK company called morgan benjamin (lower case on purpose) has developed a sharp looking dashboarding tool for Cognos 8 business intelligence. From the visuals, it seems to integrate nicely into the Cognos suite and is available for all Cognos 8 releases.



Key features:

• Data driven ticker
• Pop up & Transition facilities
• Zoom Functionality
• Links to other Studios (Report Studio, Analysis Studio, Query Studio)
• Animated KPI’s
• Content and functionality Rich Dashboards created in hours not weeks
• Compatible with all versions of Cognos 8
• Leverages your in house report studio skills
• Employs professionally designed graphical layout
• Multiple templates and colour schemes
• Simple to add corporate identity
• Allows users to add comments to dashboards
• Links seamlessly with existing reports, cubes and data sources

I'm most interested in the ability to add comments or annotations to reports although I have read that this type of functionality will be included when Cognos 8.4 is released.
