IBM Cognos Framework Manager Fundamentals

 

The focus of this three day IBM Cognos Framework Manager Fundamentals course is to highlight the important steps to be considered during the design and implementation process metadata modeling. This knowledge is key to ensure that all future work will produce consistent and predictable results during end user analysis. 

Millions of dollars are wasted every year on Business Intelligence implementations that fail to provide a clear strategic architecture to presenting corporate information for end user consumption. If the data is organized in a concise, consistent manner, and performs well, the project will be well received and accepted around the organization. In order to achieve this, a solid understanding of the IBM Cognos Framework Manager tool is necessary.

Based on a proven training curriculum, Ironside will provide instructor-led classes that highlight the important steps to be considered during the design and implementation process of a Framework model.
