My organization uses IBM Cognos Analytics to pull data reports from Deltek Costpoint. There is no way to pull data only with Costpoint so we use IBM Cognos Analytics to fill that gap.
Good, but not perfect!

Congos is used for reporting and analytics processes only. Different structures are used to report on certain levels and increase understanding. The scope was to have a flexible and user-accepted (friendly) tool.
