This video shows how you can use IBM Cognos Disclosure Management (CDM) to break down reports into sections (‘objects’) so you can assign them to different users to work on with MS Office (Word + Excel) embedded as the user-interface.  Users see only items that correspond only to what the individual user needs to do and changes are saved in the database, avoiding documents being sent back and forth between different users.  A full audit trail is stored in the central database instead of on a desktop with tracking with time & date stamp. CDM connects directly to various relational databases using live data connections.  All reports are automatically updated from source data.
