BIRMINGHAM, AL. - Teksouth Corporation, a veteran provider of data management and analysis systems, announced today a partnership arrangement with Cognos Inc. to mutually target increased opportunities in the U.S. Government and commercial sectors.

Under terms of the agreement, Teksouth will make the full line of Cognos’ software tools, including Cognos PowerPlay® and Cognos ReportNet™, available to its customers.
