This capability is provided through a simple wizard-style interface that allows you to integrate Lotus Notes databases and applications with your Cognos enterprise BI infrastructure. Another key feature is the handling of data type fidelity, which has historically been difficult to do. With the Cognos BI Modeler for Lotus Domino date, numeric, multi-value, and custom computed fields are easily incorporated into the BI environment. In addition, the solution automatically optimizes the data for fast query access. Once the Lotus Notes data has been modeled, a Cognos metadata model is automatically generated. The metadata model is then translated into a Cognos 8 Framework, and all the Lotus Notes data can be joined to other enterprise data sources without coding or data mirroring.
