Integrated Version Control simplifies and streamlines the process of continuously preserving authored content in the event changes need to be audited or the information needs to be recovered. IVC’s innovative approach to integrating directly within the IBM Cognos 8 interface allows the product to appear and behave as if it were part of the core IBM Cognos 8 product suite. IVC’s version control process is intuitive and requires little or no training for consumers.
IVC is the ONLY Real-Time, Transparent and Truly Integrated Versioning and Governance, Risk and Compliance Solution for IBM Cognos.
