There are 4 separate E1 8.0 installations that will become one centralised 9.1 installation.
There is already an established DW on SQL Server and IBM Cognos as the chosen BI Tool.
The question is how Oracle BI publisher compares to Cognos for operational reporting. One View is not in the picture since ad-hoc is a big need here and IT will create the reports.
Cognos has powerful modelling tools thus can provide adequate modelling layers for report authoring, abstracting the native reporting difficulties in JDE (file decimals, table names , column names). Although even this is not difficulty for us since we are messing with JDE tables since 15 years now.
So as i see , competition for Operational Reporting is BI Publisher Enterprise edition.
Is this correct? I could do my modelling and custom reporting there?
I need to choose between 2 scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Operational Reporting: UBE + BI Publisher Ent,
BI: Cognos BI + TM1
Scenario 2:
Operational Reporting : UBE + Cognos Instance for relational reporting
BI: Cognos BI + TM1
Any other options / opinions / experiences?
Thanks
