I have already listed my first look on this cognos-10 in my previous post. You can have a look at here.
Cognos-10 comes with the following mottos:
1. To deliver perfectly blended and corporate supported content which is delivered any where an when ever required and to only with permitted access.
2. The data will be always available to the business users, managers and executives and no on demand processing is reuired.
3. Managers can make smarter decission by accessing this data and assembling all the reuired information always.
How is this going to be achieved?
- IBM COGNOS10 comes with a solution named Cognos Business Insight which is a unified workspace for all the users. This unified workspace lets the users to build from a rought sketch from another persons analysis.
- Cognos-10's new feature of scorecarding etc is made available through this unified workspace.

- Cognos Business Insight allows users to explore complex and large datasets with the help of drag and drop options.
- Users can easily drill through the cognos business insight and integrate the data internally and externally.
- This external data can be anything from an excel spreadsheet to a SAP business warehouse.

- On the other hand SAP business warehouse information can be accessed immediately.
- IBM Cognos Statistics helps in developing intensive cognos reports with the availability of the IBM's SPSS statistics engine.

- Microsoft office tools like Spreadsheets(xlsx), presentations(ppts) can now directly connect to the IBM Cognos BI and use the data which reduces the hassles of cut copy pasting information.

Now, with the help of all these tools, cognos stands as the best bet for the users to start reporting and once the users are familiar to the cognos10 they might forget the use of cognos 8 and report net. Lets see if it is going to be a hit or a flop.
