It is important that models are designed with this in mind. This seminar will demonstrate design approaches and diagnostic tools that will help customers to build robust and appropriately sized models. 13/08/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/best_practice/wa_ep_design_sizing_diagnostics/index.html http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/best_practice/wa_planning_investment_through_sim/index.html This session will provide a methodology and tools for IT to better meet the needs of the Office Finance through a review of Cognos Solution Implementation Methodology (SIM). This role-based validation and milestones process provides a consistent implementation methodology for planning to establish best practices and reduce implementation risks. Through this process IT will better understand and qualify/quantify OoF needs and match it to the strengths of Cognos 8 Planning. This session will also review the Cognos Performance Blueprints which can be used to accelerate this process through established best practice templates. 29/07/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/best_practice/wa_planning_investment_through_sim/index.html http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/best_practice/planning_links/index.html Do you have a Planning model that is much larger than you would like? Do you need to let different people have different access to the same cost centre? Planning Links can help. This seminar is designed to explain the linking functionality and give you ideas of how you can better fulfill the needs of your users. The seminar will highlight the tuning functionality provided in Planning 7.3 MR1 which can enable Admin links to run much faster than was previously possible. 04/07/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/best_practice/planning_links/index.html http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/tech_update/cognos_planning_7_3/index.html Find out in this one hour web seminar how you can further enhance your planning processes and performance with the new functionality of Cognos Planning 7.3. See in a live demo, how you can benefit from the new decentralized administration and component-based planning capabilities. Achieve even more accurate results in less time through faster data linking technology. 06/03/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/tti/tech_update/cognos_planning_7_3/index.html http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/multimedia/mm_0702_02.html One basic difference between planning and reporting is the amount of process the two contain. With reporting, when a data warehouse has been updated, there is a single event that marks the completion of a task. 01/02/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/multimedia/mm_0702_02.html http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/techniques/ta_0612_05.html When reviewing Contributor data, it is important to understand whether or not the data has been submitted. This is sometimes controlled for published data by virtue of the fact that the publish process is not performed until all data is submitted and approved at the highest level. 01/12/2007 http://support.cognos.com/supported/supportlink/techniques/ta_0612_05.html http://www.cognos.com/innovationcenter/blueprint_enterprise_planning.html#1 This Blueprint allows cost-center managers to allocate all or part of their expenses to the appropriate profit centers.
