m-Fin stands for “management financial.”  m-Fin reports are

• for internal CU use.
• Cognos technology.
• financial data from CU’s Central Information Data Warehouse (CIW [3]).
• tuned for database efficiency.
• developed with input from CU administrative financial data users.
• published and maintained by CU’s Office of University Controller (OUC [4]).

Our ambitious goal for m-Fin reports is that they become good enough that we can transition CU users off of

• PSLite,
• FishNet,
• Denver Data Inquiry web site (aka. Denver Warehouse), and
• OUC’s previous Cognos financial reports (on-demand and burst).

If you are a loyal user of one of these systems we want to win you over.
