BlackBerry supports Cognos 8 Go

摘要

IBM corp.'s new hosting capabilities to support the Black-Berry platform will mean users of the device will have access to more applications like business intelligence software from Cognos, which was acquired last year by IBM. BlackBerry users can now use Cognos 8 Go software, a version of IBM's BI tool built specifically for the BlackBerry. The motivation behind RIM providing a development platform for the BlackBerry is so that companies like IBM can build products "in a very mobile way for knowledge workers, executives, mobile workers to be able consume the data," said Jeff McDowell, vice-president of global alliances with RIM.
