Aqute formed a Services Partner Agreement with Cognos in 2003 to jointly address corporate business transformation programmes requiring Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solutions. The partnership delivers a combination of Aqute's business process skills and Cognos' solutions which enable organisations to implement a performance-oriented culture where targets and results are shared. Employees clearly see how their actions contribute to the organisation's goals, and managers can measure execution against business strategy.

Whilst Aqute management consultants design core business performance improvement programmes, using process redesign and balanced scorecards, Cognos turn this into reality with Cognos Metrics Manager and their leading Business Intelligence software.

Cognos, the world leader in business intelligence (BI) and performance measurement, delivers software that helps companies improve business performance by enabling effective decision-making. With Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Cognos achieves the strategic application of BI on an enterprise scale. CPM lets organisations measure execution against business strategy, ensuring the two are aligned at all levels across the enterprise.
