Turning Data into Analytics

In almost any type of modern business, data is generated daily in various ways. Hidden 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 more meaningful form. This transformed data is called “Analytics”.

Cognos Analytics - the Right Tool for the Job

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.3 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 users.

PMsquare Cognos Consultants

PMsquare’s Cognos Analytics consultants are some of the most experienced in the industry. On average, they have over 15 years of experience in data and analytics, primarily focused on delivering solutions on the IBM Cognos Analytics platform. We can help you with every step along the path as you move from ugly raw data to beautiful, business-transforming insights. For instance, we can guide you through the following important steps:

1. Develop an analytics strategy for your business

2. Configure an appropriate analytics database

3. Extract data from your source systems

4. Transform source data to prepare it for analysis

5. Create professional reports that provide critical insights into what is happening in your business

6. Build stunning visualizations that unlock trends, patterns, and outliers that you may not have otherwise noticed

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 excellent of a solution a consultant builds, it only delivers value to a business if it gets regularly used and integrated into everyday business. For this reason, when kicking off 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. In addition, we’ll work with users directly to ensure they understand how to use the solution.

All Kinds of Analytics Tasks

Our Cognos consultants can deliver reports and dashboards that are ready to be handed over to business users, or we can create self-service models and templates so that your user can build their own content when they need it. Or, we can help with all kinds of other Analytics-related activities, such as these:

• Appropriately size your environment for Cognos Analytics (CPU, memory, etc.)

• Design a scalable and highly-performing architecture

• Configure Cognos Analytics for security and scalability

• Set up efficient structures that allow users to share content while also maintaining organization and oversight

• Design data models with business terminology and logic embedded so that users can get at the data they need when they need it

• Train end-users on every aspect of using Cognos Analytics applicable to their role

• Customize reports and dashboards to look and act exactly how you want them to
