If you own an on-prem Cognos Analytics environment, you have probably been told SaaS is the future. What you have not gotten is a straight answer about what it actually means for your reports, your security model, your budget, and your team.

This session is that conversation. In 45 minutes we walk through the ten objections we hear most often from IT and finance teams before they migrate: security and data residency, loss of control over the environment, what happens to years of custom reports and dashboards, authentication and single sign-on, integration with existing data sources, and cost surprises down the road. No spin. Where SaaS solves the problem, we say so. Where it does not, we say that too.

Who should attend: Cognos Analytics administrators, report authors, BI and reporting managers, finance leaders, and the IT staff who keep the environment running.

You will leave knowing which objections hold up, which ones are outdated, and what questions to ask before you commit to a migration timeline.
