What's new in Cognos8.4 GO! Family

Cognos on the GO!
Go! Mobile
The newer Go! Mobile version gained location intelligence and query capabilities as well as the ability to deliver prompted, scheduled and bursted reports. The product takes advantage of GPS information with Blackberry, Symbian and similar mobile devices.

Go! Dashboards
This is an Adobe Flash-based dashboarding tool that lets users visualize information in drag-and-drop fashion. This new feature gives dashboards a slick appearance and it supports dynamic interaction. So, visualizations change as you move sliders and drill down on data.

Go! Search
The earlier version of this product was limited to searching preexisting Cognos reports. Version 8.4 delivers original query results, as well as cubes and unstructured (Word and PDF) documents and reports.
