Updated: August 27, 2007

 

Mission

To provide a forum for Cognos end users to be able to share experiences while learning to optimize the performance of their respective tools/solutions. Also to insure Cognos end users always have an opportunity to get updated on the most current Cognos tools as well as recent trends in the marketplace.

Structure

The Atlanta Cognos User Group is sponsored by two leading Cognos solution providers and fully supported by the Cognos Corporation. Members are highly encouraged to participate as hosts, give presentations, as well as to become involved in all aspects of the operation of the group. This is a member driven organization.

The group is managed by a steering committee that was formed in January of 2005. All members of the steering committee are volunteers. The steering committee is comprised of local Cognos users, sponsors and the Southeast Partner Development Manager.

The responsibilities of the committee are:

• To make arrangements for all group meetings, including meeting location, speakers, room reservations, equipment, refreshments, door prizes, and handouts.
• To regularly communicate with members via meeting notices and emails. Meeting notices, steering committee members and other information will be posted on the Cognos International User Group web site.
• To maintain and keep confidential the group's membership list

Membership
