Cognos Analytics Consulting
Turning Data into Analytics
In almost any type of modern business, data is generated every day in a variety of ways. Encoded in that data are valuable insights that can drive informed business decisions. However, in its “raw” state data is just… data. It isn’t useful until it is refined into its useful form, which we call “Business Analytics” or just “Analytics”.
Cognos Analytics - the Right Tool for the Job
IBM Cognos Analytics is a powerful cloud or on-premise software platform for turning data into valuable insights. Cognos Analytics provides everything you need “in the box” to cleanse, model, and visualize data for user consumption.

Our Cognos Consulting Approach
Our Cognos Analytics consulting strategy is geared around the concept of user adoption. Our decades of experience have taught us that no matter how great a solution a consultant builds, it only delivers value to a business if it gets regularly utilized and integrated into business processes. For this reason, when beginning any consulting engagement we will discuss with you upfront what business problems you are trying to solve. We will then structure the consulting engagement to ensure that the solution built directly addresses those problems. Furthermore, we’ll work with users to ensure they understand how to use the solution.

Our Cognos consultants can deliver reports and dashboards that are ready to be handed over to business users, or we can create self-service modes and templates so that your user can build their own content when they need it… and so much more:
