IBM Analytics Practice
Five focused services. Two free entry points. Outcomes that are measurable. We address the full Cognos lifecycle — from a free health check through to upgrade execution, content rationalisation, performance optimisation, and report development.
Services A and B are complete, useful tools — not teasers. No registration. No vendor access required. Immediate results. Available directly on our website.
Service A
A profile-driven online scorecard that evaluates your Cognos environment across six domains. Takes 15–20 minutes for an administrator to complete. No installation, no vendor access, no data leaves your organisation.
What you get: A scored health report with overall rating (Critical / Attention Required / Good / Excellent), domain-by-domain breakdown, and ranked findings with recommended next actions. Downloadable as PDF.
Paid upgrades: Remote deep-dive (Tier 2) · Full on-site assessment (Tier 3)

Service C
Most Cognos environments carry years of unchecked content growth — duplicates, orphaned reports, never-run content, and deprecated studio files. Rationalisation is the most impactful single action before any upgrade, and it delivers immediate performance benefits regardless of upgrade plans.
Tier 2: Audit & report (fixed price) · Tier 3: Full execution (project-based)
Request scopingService D
Slow reports, gateway timeouts, and queue depth issues rarely have a single cause. We work from measurement to root cause — covering eight performance domains with before/after validation on every engagement.
Tier 2: Diagnostic report (fixed price) · Tier 3: Full optimisation (project-based)
Request scopingService G
Production-quality Cognos reports and dashboards built to last — paginated finance reports, interactive executive dashboards, scheduled burst reports, and Stories. All development follows our standards for naming, documentation, security, and performance.
