Metric Manager

Cognos Metrics Manager (CMM)

• CMM allows you to create a customized score

carding environment to monitor and analyze
metrics throughout the organization. It helps you
translate your organization's strategy into
relevant, measurable goals that align each
employee's actions and accountability with a
strategic plan.
• CMM’s rich score carding environment shows
you quickly where the organization is successful
and where it needs improvement. It tracks
performance against agreed targets and
indicates the current status to allow decision
makers at every level of the organization to
react and plan.
• The flexibility of CMM lets you model metrics
and their relationships based on any standard
