1. Data Warehouse User Group July 28, 2011  Update for Migration to Cognos 8.4  Brief Demo of Analysis Studio

2. Why is it being Postponed? Technical Issues with our Server Environment not yet stable Framework/Data Model still being tested and debugged Learning curve steeper than anticipated Security Implementation not yet finalized Cognos 7.4 Catalog allowed us, fairly easily, to restrict your access according to Division across both BI tools We are currently researching Cognos 8.4 to determine if we can replicate the same functionality

3. Why is it being Postponed? Unlike Cognos 7.4, Cognos 8.4 will have 3 levels of reporting Report Studio Reports (easiest): pre-written, prompted reports which let you drill through to one or more reports Analysis Studio (mid-level): users will write their own reports against cubes Query Studio (higher level): users will write their own reports against source data We would like to have a robust set of Report Studio reports available for training Hiring consultants to build us a starter set

4. What now? As a result of the delay… One “final” Cognos 7.4 training August 10 th & 11 th …why bother? Analysis Studio is much easier to learn if you know and have used the existing PowerPlay tool Allows the 8.4 trainings to concentrate on the tool itself, not the data warehouse content All New Users should attend this class! Please register now if you haven’t already done so. A revised 8.4 Training Schedule will be released in the near future We will continue to meet with individual users We need to understand how the current tools are being used Will help us identify candidates for the Report Studio reports
