Cognos 12 removed Query Studio and Analysis Studio. If your business users have been building their own queries and analyses in those studios for the last decade, that is not a minor feature change. It is a change to how your team gets its own answers.

In 30 minutes we cover what actually happens to that work, and what replaces it. We also cover the timeline, which is tighter than most teams realize.

Standard support for Cognos Analytics 11.2.x ended April 30, 2026. If you are still on 11.2.x, you are in extended support now: critical fixes only, at a higher cost than upgrading. Anyone on 11.1.x has been unsupported since 2024. Then we get to the practical part. Lodestar has rebuilt self-serve reporting for Cognos 12 environments, and we walk through how: what maps cleanly to the new interfaces, what has to be reworked, and how to bring your report authors along without a training cliff.

Who should attend: Cognos Analytics administrators, report authors, BI and reporting managers, and anyone whose users still live in Query Studio or Analysis Studio.

You will leave knowing whether this is a showstopper for your team, and what your realistic path forward looks like.
