Tools

A wide range of BI tools are used at Purdue.  The three enterprise tools recognized and supported by the BICC are Cognos, Tableau, and Power BI.  Cognos is a web-based suite of tools from IBM that offers a full range of business intelligence capabilities including reports, analysis, dashboards, scorecards, mobile BI and more.  Tableau is a tool that translates data into optimized visual images to see patterns, identify trends, and quickly discover visual insights.  Power BI was recently added in July of 2024 with the addition of Microsoft A5 licenses and brings strengths in visually immersive and interactive insights.
