Cost planning in IBM Cognos TM1
Lukin, Anton ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Kaleta, Adam (referee)
The thesis is oriented on the analysis methods of financial planning and cost planning, particularly for companies, and on the realization of the principles and techniques used with IBM Cognos TM1. The main result of this work is the customized solution for cost planning brought by IBM Cognos TM1. The particular result is the description of the main principles of financial and cost planning, explain their parts and introduce to IBM Cognos TM1. The thesis is focused on the basics of IBM Cognos TM1, its main components and advanced use cases. Also, it shows how IBM Cognos TM1 can be used for implementing real custom work-flow process for cost planning.

Súčasné prístupy k nákladovej alokácii a vývoj typizovaného programového rozhrania v nástroji IBM Cognos TM1
Fedoročko, Peter ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Bothe, Ondřej (referee)
Thesis is devoted to current trends in approaching cost allocation developed in IBM Cognos TM1 software. Concept, which was originally elaborated in my bachelor thesis, has recently experienced restrictions caused by increasing requirements on analytical tools and information they provide. Goal of the thesis is therefore to analyse causalities of emerging weaknesses, design and develop optimalized and reengineered solution answering current demands. Reqarding the quantitative evaluation of attained results, the thesis is extended with analysis of frameworks and standards dedicated to benchmarking of OLAP tools and their synthesis into own complex model. Proposed model specializes on measuring multiple OLAP applications across four main perspectives including performance, development, usability and financial benefits. Attained results prove, that reengineered model is faster, data richer, easier to use and appropriate for any organization with structured and algorithmic approach to cost allocation. Second half of the thesis focuses on extending the presentation layer to web browser, designing and developing of custom visualizations for most usual analytic tasks. Considering the absence of advanced application interface in IBM Cognos TM1, the thesis also includes theoretical analysis of current trends in API development and design of concept allowing communication and data transportation between applications and TM1 server. In the concluding section of the thesis, proposed concept is materialized into universal library developed in PHP and applied to novel allocation model. Leveraging the library, two exemplary interfaces for allocator operation and data consumption are implemented. Gained knowledge can serve as basis for development of additional components communicationg with TM1 in variety of projects or theoretical framework for API implementation in general.

What-if analysis in the CPM tool
Pokorný, Jiří ; Novotný, Ota (advisor) ; Náplava, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with the management approach in performance management, today known world by the concept of Corporate Performance Management. CPM describes the relationship to Business Intelligence and methodologies, processes, metrics and technologies that together form the concept. There is also a description of CPM applications which cover the five most commonly deployed areas. The second part is devoted to what-if analysis that is one of several methodologies which are part of the CPM package. It also contains the list of competing tools that cover this area. The following hypothetical example of putting what-if analysis, aimed at resolving issues of fictitious company, related to costs, revenue and profit. Example is based on technology developed at IBM Cognos TM1. During the example solutions are presented with all the basic functionality that this technology offers.

Optimalizácia nákladov a profitability produktov využitím what-if analýzy v recipročnej alokačnej aplikácii
Fedoročko, Peter ; Pour, Jan (advisor) ; Bothe, Ondřej (referee)
Thesis is focused on one of the most discussed area of Management Information Systems currently -- Corporate Performance Management. It does not aim on detail explanation of theme itself, but orientate to specific problematic of setting key solution of managerial accounting -- cost allocation, to the Performance Management systems. Thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. First part is devoted to Corporate Performance Management definition, its placement in architecture of Business Intelligence devices as well as reasoning for its implementation considering current economical situation. From the main three pillars of Performance Management is major attention dedicated to analytical part enabling execution of what-if analyses. Part devoted to cost allocation identifies contributions of its implementation in optimization and minimization of expenditures as well as offers reasons for using them in bank sphere. Practical case study documents particular project phases of implementation of cost allocation analytical solution in fictive bank, while major section is dedicated to architecture and design part of the calculation engine. Project is concluded with description and explanation of advanced implementation techniques and methods in IBM Cognos TM1 software.
