1 We aim to provide you with the right training, at the right time and at the right price'. A cost effective solution to your business objectives. Our trainers are experts in IBM Cognos applications and business intelligence, enabling your delegates to understand the business issues and exploit the full potential of the IBM Cognos system. Each training course is structured to strike the right balance between theory (PowerPoint presentations), and practice (hands-on demonstrations and workshops). Each delegate will receive a step-bystep manual for reference during, and after the training. Courses are aimed at three roles: Data Modellers, Professional Report Authors and Business Users. A course customisation service is also available. Data Modelling Framework Manager Projects (2 days) Provide the background knowledge required to plan, design, build and maintain Projects and Packages that supply the information required by the business. Provide hints and tips on how to optimise the reporting environment. Delegates should have a basic knowledge of relational databases and an understanding of the types of reports required by the business. o IBM Cognos Structure o Framework Manager o Reporting with a Package o Managing a Project o Report Analysis o Data Analysis o Create a Project o Import Metadata o Relationships o Modelling for Predictable Results o Present the Data o Dimensions o Packages o Parameterisation Techniques o Security o Maintenance o Optimising o Multi-Modeller Environment
