In August 2003, Steve Lehmkuhle, Vice President for Academic Affairs and executive sponsor for University of Missouri reporting, appointed the Reporting Task Force Working group to facilitate the implementation of the University of Missouri Reporting Task Force recommendations. The goal was to construct a reporting and decision support system in the mode of the existing UMDW data warehouse that used a web-based reporting tool like Cognos ReportNet.
Throughout the fall of 2003, the workgroup, with assistance from UM IT, focused on selecting a reporting tool for the reporting environment. The group evaluated reporting tools from a number of vendors and sought bids for the acquisition of a reporting system. In late August 2004 University of Missouri concluded a purchase contract with Cognos for both their ReportNet tool as well as their multi-dimensional data analysis tool called PowerPlay.
