Course Description

The latest version of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence is Cognos Analytics and it brings IBM right back into the game against new-age competitors such as QlikView and Tableau. This sleek, next-generation, unified tool provides you with a fast, intent-driven dashboard and report-authoring interface on top of the strong foundation that IBM Cognos has provided over decades.

Lets take a look at your learning journey. Here, you will strongly focus on the new analytics dashboard tool, that is not only the future of reporting authoring but also appeals much wider audience right from end users who are simply consumers of data, to power-users who analyze data and create dashboards for consumption, and IT developers who deliver high quality reporting solutions. In addition to analytics dashboarding, which is the completely new feature in v11, you will also learn about what users and author gain by upgrading from older v10 or v8 (why upgrade, and why not). You will get a hang of the completely new connection portal interface. You'll also know the limitations of the dashboarding tool and shows how to mitigate them in the report development tool as it is completely dedicated to Cognos Analytics Reporting, the advanced report authoring tool. Going further, you will master the Report Tool interface and learn how to create a report dashboard l using simple objects (for beginners). Finally, youll go through advanced topics to overcome the limitations of a dashboard tool such as drill-through, prompt manipulation, advanced data formatting, making the dashboards printable, conditional highlighting, and more.

Good sessions for learning Cognos Analytics 11. Need some stuff (with examples) to work on and usage of framework manager 11 in report studio. User privileges is need to be explained, as it is important for security matters.

By Mohamed Gamal on 9/1/2020

thanks a lot, I have learned more and more.

By M Natros on 8/1/2020

This course does not match what is currently offered by Cognos Analytics. It uses old data sets that are not available and is an older version of 11. If you are trying to learn this as a new Cognos user, it will be frustrating

Good structure of the lectures.

Hard time understanding speaker. Subtitles are wrong.

By Madhukar Bharadwaj on 4/16/2020

Very Useful for Beginners

By Denise Collins on 4/15/2020

Loved the course! Was a bit tiring having to reference other sources or the questions asked since the current Cognos version is different than the one shown in this tutorial. Would be great to have had an updated version.

By Tim Jia on 3/2/2020

The course really need to be updated. Examples are important for students to follow the concept and have necessary practice. This video utilized existing example files provided by Cognos, but when Cognos has updates, those practice files may change. The students would not be able to follow instructor and practice then. I strongly suggest the instructor upload practice files, so students can download and upload to their IBM Cognos interface and follow exactly what instructors teach.

This course does not match what is currently offered by Cognos Analytics. It uses old data sets that are not available and is an older version of 11. If you are trying to learn this as a new Cognos user, it will be frustrating. Also, hard to follow with his heavy accent.
