Are you ready to simplify the maintenance of your Cognos BI environment?
Regardless of whether you have upgraded to the latest version of Cognos Analytics, or are just thinking about it, you probably have a lot of untidy areas in Cognos. Maybe you have reports without an owner because someone left. Perhaps you have half built reports that have been abandoned. Have you had reports that steal all the resources and run for a long time? As a busy BI professional, you know that maintaining all this is can be daunting! So many reports and so little time.
The fact is Cognos Analytics is a lot like your garage. You keep thinking about organizing it but never quite find the time. And, if you decided to move… Ugh. Well, upgrading your Cognos Analytics is a little like moving because you want your new environment to be uncluttered and efficient as fast as possible.
Better Visibility to Cognos
Imagine if you had the capability to better understand what is really in your content store and when you upgrade, you moved only the good stuff. What if when you upgrade your reports you could easily migrate important reports that you accidentally left behind? What would your life be like if updating your Cognos Analytics environment with the new functionality was an opportunity for you to further advance analytics in your organization and end users respected you for empowering them with analytics?
Cognos Administrator Tools Not Enough
The good news is this can be your reality! For many of you, you have experienced that the tools included in IBM Cognos Analytics do not help you as much as you need. The Lifecycle manager and other components in IBM Cognos Analytics are like using a weed whacker to mow your lawn. You could do it, but it sucks up your time and could take your forever.
Thrive with Cognos Analytics
But not to worry, there is a better way! It is time to get the right tools in place to help you not just survive all the changes and upgrades but THRIVE and become known as the BI Rockstar that you know you are!
On June 23rd, Lodestar is excited to be presenting a complimentary one- day hands on virtual workshop with Motio for all Cognos BI power users.
