"We have worked closely with the BrightStar Partners team for many years, as they possess tremendous credibility with their implementation experience and extraordinarily deep knowledge of the IBM Cognos products. MetaManager, one of the many solutions in their product portfolio, greatly streamlines the development and administrative side of an IBM Cognos deployment," said Bradley Jeffers, Director, Industry and Technology Alliances at IBM Cognos.
