Solution Planning Services
Before a project begins, Cognos works with you to explore and understand your business requirements and expectations. Through a number of initiatives, we partner with you to refine the planning process so you achieve the best results from your Cognos solution.
Discovery and Validation Workshop
In this workshop, we help you document your business and technical goals and challenges, and chart a roadmap for project success. We also help to articulate and share your strategy with stakeholders to build support for your project.
Scoping and Planning Service
Cognos Client Management, supported by expert architects and project managers, assist you in defining your projects. The Scoping and Planning Service provides you with project initiation deliverables, including the project charter, project success plan, timeline, and resource estimate. This enables a smooth transition to the design, build and deployment phases of your implementation.
Rapid Scorecard Service
Transform your business strategy into action with this scorecarding workshop. Our consultants work with you to highlight your strategic objectives, identify key indicators and measures, and set up a pilot scorecard to monitor results.
BI Migration and Conversion Rapid Assessment Services
Cognos Professional Services helps you determine the requirements of your migration and conversion projects. We first conduct a rapid audit to assess your existing infrastructure, architecture, performance, and capacity. We then deliver a project plan for the migration or conversion process — to make the best use of existing resources, mitigate risk, and ensure successful results.
Data Quality Rapid Assessment
Your performance management initiatives depend on quality data. This five-day service focuses on data quality issues that may affect the success of your performance management project. It will uncover the data quality issues that need to be addressed; sets a baseline for ongoing data quality strategy; helps reduce project risk from poor data quality; and educates business leads on data quality and shows them how to improve it.
