Yes

I think IBM Cognos Analytics is well suited for enterprise reporting and business intelligence. It allows both in memory and back end data depending on needs and requirements. IBM Cognos Analytics struggles with advocacy reporting and dashboarding compared to competitors, or that’s the vibes. Would appreciate additional training on how to best leverage AI inside the tool and connect externally.
