OEM Solutions for Enterprise Business Applications |
Our consulting team helps Cognos® OEM clients
Harness the power of information by developing Cognos® based business intelligence, performance management, and data warehouse solutions. We can shorten your new product development cycle and accelerate your time to market.
Flexible Solutions tailored to your Business
LPA's Cognos BPM consulting practice provides a range of solutions and expertise focused at helping Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) organizations leverage the Cognos suite of products and SDK to gain a competitive advantage.
Examples of How We Help OEM Clients Succeed
LPA integrates Cognos ReportNet reports into OEM applications, embedding the reports for seamless parameter passing. We tailor and re-brand reports with the OEM product logos, color schemas, and then we implement a "silent" installation of ReportNet reporting server and reports tacked onto the OEM installation for an automated, transparent deployment.
To create an environment of uniform data integrity, we enable single sign-on, integrated report security with the OEM application by creating custom authentication providers; we develop a CRN Framework Manager model that reuses existing application data descriptions or the model of another application and provide SDK-based administration and deployment tools to streamline application development cycles. And finally architect and implement data integration with the OEM platform to ensure performance, scalability and availability.
Integral to LPA's OEM services is to work closely with your team to help define value-added offerings to maximize your product and services revenue. LPA's summary contribution in these engagements is to create sales demos that provide the "wow factor" to your prospects.
