The following is a simple elevator statement on IBM Smart Analytics.

Connecting Data to the business

IBM Smart Analytics products enable you to deploy business intelligence and analysis applications that meet all of your organizational needs. IBM Smart Analytics does not require you to extract your data and aggregate content into alternate data locations, but will build the structure in the DB2 database itself, keeping a central simple management point. The IBM Smart Analytic software stack provides the broadest capabilities and greatest flexibility so that Information Technology can truly minimize the dependency on multiple vendors and rely on one (single source of resolution) while delivering to the needs of the business community.

The IBM Smart Analytics stack builds non-compromising BI and analytic applications. IBM Smart Analytics includes the following components:

IBM Smart Analytics - The web services component for deploying applications (Cognos)

IBM Smart Analytics - The simple-to-use IDE offers even entry-level programmers or skilled business users the ability to build and deploy applications significantly faster than the majority of other BI solutions

IBM Smart Analytics - The IBM Smart Analytics module for publishing applications and enabling widespread access through the end-user's browser, desktop, or company portal

IBM Smart Analytics - Data Management components (InfoSphere and DB2)

IBM Smart Analytics - Pre-sized and Pre-test hardware components

IBM Smart Analytics is an intuitive interface for those responsible for building information bridges, while automating the typically time and labor intensive information gathering and presentation process offering several benefits.

Streamline planning cycles and improve the accuracy of forecasting and reporting across your entire organization.
