The company plans to begin using the tool in production in June to create a provider data warehouse, according to Brooks.

Finally, the new tool is designed to allow users ad hoc access to underlying BI data they can search without having to create a report. IBM uses natural language query processing technology to interpret what a user needs based on the request for information, Andrews said.

"It is enabling users to more easily directly navigate this BI data without having to create reports in advance," he said. "It opens up the value of BI to a much broader set of users and allows them to benefit from the knowledge being captured in data warehouses and data marts."

The new tool is available now.
