What’s up with Cognos 8.3 ?
Cognos released their Next Generation Business Intelligence suite named Cognos 8.3 last week. Its their biggest release since 2005 when Cognos 8 was released and also an eventful release since they were recently acquired by IBM. The European Commission recently signed off on IBM’s acquisition of Cognos.
Cindi Howson writes a short note on good and bad of Cognos 8.3 -
The new Personal Alerts feature has the best work flow I’ve seen for such business alerts. The Express Authoring mode is intended to better meet the needs of power users, a user segment for which the current Report Studio is too complex and Query Studio too basic. While this mode is a step in the right direction, lack of charting abilities and limitations in types of data sources (they must be dimensionally modeled) seem to introduce other holes that will force some users to revert to Report Studio.
