Case Study: IBM Cognos Analytics achieves actionable geospatial insights and COVID-19 tracking with Mapbox

IBM Cognos Analytics - Customer Case Study

IBM Cognos Analytics is a web-based and on-premise business intelligence platform that helps users connect, clean, and combine data and apply AI to uncover insights. The challenge was to provide fast, high-quality geospatial visualization and analysis so organizations could surface geographic patterns and make data-driven decisions—examples include tracking the global spread of COVID-19 and supporting clean-energy initiatives—without sacrificing performance or cartographic quality.

By integrating Mapbox, Cognos delivers custom, performant maps, cartography best practices, and geospatial expertise directly within its dashboards. The result is interactive, insight-rich visualizations (such as the global COVID-19 dashboard) that accelerate analysis, improve storytelling, and enable customers to detect patterns and act on geographic data more effectively.
