IBM Cognos Framework Manager


Organizations collect and store a lot of raw data. Business users need to analyze and report on collected data to understand the business and steer the business in the right direction. A data model is needed to bridge between the needs of business users and the raw data collected by various data points/systems. Framework Manager is a data modeling tool. A Modeler creates the Framework Manager (FM) model so that the users or report writers can use the model for reporting and analysis. It is a client tool and is installed on the Modelers' desktop.
