Cognos said Monday that its Cognos 8 Go! Mobile business intelligence software now supports Windows Mobile 6 smartphones, as well as Nokia E- and N-series devices running S60 Third Edition on Symbian OS.The software works with Cognos&#39; core BI platform and can automatically reformat reports for various types of devices.The Canadian firm had&#160;already developed support for Research in Motion&#39;s BlackBerry&#160;smartphones.Cognos&#39; move to support more mobile platforms is logical, according to David O&#39;Connell, senior analyst with Nucleus Research in Wellesley, Mass.&quot;They&#39;re going mobile. They&#39;ve been doing it for a while,&quot; O&#39;Connell said. &quot;Basically, the more platforms you can put BI on, the more people you have adopting it, so there&#39;s more ROI.&quot;Anastasia Valentine, product manager for Cognos, said the firm made the new clients in response to market interest. Customer interest in Windows Mobile 6 centered in the United States and the Asian-Pacific region, while European customers desired support for Nokia devices, she said.While the new products are fine-tuned for each platform, they are identical feature-wise to the BlackBerry client, according to Valentine.Support for one of this year&#39;s hottest mobile devices, Apple&#39;s iPhone, isn&#39;t yet on Cognos&#39; docket.Despite the iPhone&#39;s explosive popularity, its immediate value to enterprises has been questioned. Forrester Research recently issued a report listing reasons why IT departments shouldn&#39;t support it, at least for now. Those warnings include the device&#39;s lack of support for push e-mail and its cost, Forrester said.Valentine said Cognos isn&#39;t seeing much customer demand for iPhone support, adding that the company is also keeping an eye on Google&#39;s Android mobile development platform.A &quot;starter pack&quot; for Cognos&#39; mobile BI software, which includes a server-based license, licenses for 25 users and one year of support, costs $31,000, Valentine said.
