“The Cúram Software/Cognos partnership provides social enterprises with the increased visibility they require to make more strategic and decisions and ensure they achieve better outcomes for citizens,” said Terence Atkinson, director of government and education solutions, Cognos. “Combining Cognos’ industry-leading insights in BI and performance management with Cúram Software’s expertise in SEM will give agencies the ability to leverage existing investments to provide a comprehensive view of the case management process and the most current information to those involved.”

Integrated Cúram Software and Cognos application functionality allows government social enterprises such as workforce services, health and human services, and social security agencies to better manage programs and desired outcomes. They accomplish this by leveraging the rich dashboards and analytical features available in Cognos and accessing comprehensive social enterprise information from their Cúram Software environment.
