IBM Cognos 8 Go! Search Service and WebSphere Information Server OmniFind Edition, a key component of the IBM WebSphere Content Discovery platform, enable users to discover and analyze information on demand by presenting IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence information as part of IBM enterprise search results.

BI is a critical component of an organization's knowledge assets, but is typically ignored by most enterprise search solutions. This combined solution provides a consolidated view of BI data and both the structured and unstructured content distributed across the enterprise. In doing so, it increases access to information throughout the organization and maximizes BI investments.

This new offering helps fulfill the IBM vision of Information On Demand and the Cognos vision of taking our customers to the next level of performance. It provides:

Secure search results with sub-second response from enterprise content such as intranets, extranets, corporate public Web sites, relational databases, file systems, and content repositories, along with IBM Cognos 8 BI content.
Extensive capabilities for determining meaning and relevance of content through unstructured information management architecture (UIMA). Now, anyone within an organization will be able to use simple keywords and phrases to search and find relevant IBM Cognos 8 BI content as part of enterprise search results.
Greater access to enterprise knowledge, helping businesses better manage their growing deluge of information and extract and analyze previously unavailable business intelligence content to uncover risks, identify new opportunities, and drive efficiencies.

By supporting the open source UIMA framework for the creation, development, and deployment of technologies companies can garner the vital knowledge present in unstructured content, the fastest growing source of information today. Cognos Go! Search allows reports, analyses, dashboards, metric information, and events to be published and indexed by WebSphere Information Server OmniFind Edition, the IBM enterprise search platform and the first commercially available software for processing content based on UIMA.
