 PROFILE
Cognos knows smart business. The company's business intelligence software, including Impromptu and PowerPlay, lets users tap into corporate data, analyze it, and compile reports. Its application development products operate across a wide range of environments, including traditional server-based, client/server, and Web-based applications. Cognos' customers include BMG Entertainment, Dow Chemical, and Hewlett-Packard. US sales account for about 55% of the company's revenues. Acknowledging a shift away from computer networking, Cognos has released Web-based versions of its software, and has made plans to target the wireless product market. Former CEO Michael Potter owns 13% of the company.
