Are you struggling to get a Cognos report to run correctly? Maybe you have a TM1 or Cognos Planning model you have been staring at for hours and can’t seem to figure out why the calculation is wrong? Do you wish you had an expert you could go to for help? Have no fear, Lodestar’s new Cognos a la Carte Services for Small Cognos Projects is here.
For the last 13+ years Lodestar Solutions has been providing expert consultants and trainers to customers of IBM Cognos BI serving clients on everything from Cognos Series 7, Impromtu, Cognos PowerPlay Cognos 8, Cognos 10, and Cognos Analytics (C11). We have served Cognos Planning going back to Adaytum 2.4 to Cognos Planning 8, and Cognos 10. Cognos TM1, Cognos Performance Management, and Cognos Planning Analytics, yes the same TM1 product with many different names. We have even offered Cognos Finance, Controller, and all the other products under the Cognos Analytics Brand.

Historically, Lodestar Solutions has worked on implementations and training for the bigger projects that take weeks or months to complete. That’s all changing and we are offering our new Cognos a la Carte Services for Small Cognos Projects. It occurred to us that maybe you don’t need weeks of help, but rather a couple hours. Maybe you have a list of Cognos BI items that you want to better understand and it’s on your list of things to research, but you never seem to find the time. How much more productive could you be if an expert answered your questions and pointed you in the right direction? Would you like to know how to use Event Studio to identify when processes fail?

Maybe your users give presentations and you want to learn how to integrate Cognos with Microsoft Office PowerPoint?
All of this knowledge is a phone call away.
​
