Your IBM Cognos / Analytics system is critical to your daily work. The last thing you want or need is an unstable, poorly configured system which will end up causing you trouble at all the wrong times.
That’s why IBM recommends that installations are carried out by experienced consultants. Our consultants have almost 20 years experience installing and configuring IBM Cognos products, meaning you can rest assured that your installation will be properly architected and configured to give you a reliable platform for your most important work.
Planning an upgrade to your IBM Cognos / Analytics system can be a stressful and time-consuming task. And whilst it should go without saying that upgrades need to be properly planned, when the right steps are taken up-front and all involved are properly informed of the options, upgrading doesn’t have to be especially painful.
Over the past 18 years we’ve completed more Cognos upgrades than we’ve had hot dinners! Well… maybe not, after all, we love our hot dinners! But it’s safe to say, that there’s very little we have not seen.
It’s our aim to bring use pir weath of experience to give you the smoothest possible upgrade project, working in sweet harmony with your internal or external IT Support teams to overcome even the biggest challenges.
Migrations are our preferred method of upgrading the IBM Cognos / Analytics software. It offers a much safer and controlled path to the newest versions, where you as a customer are in full control of the tesing processes and schedule and the go-live migration happens at a date convenient to the business, not dictated by the timing of the installation.
We are also able to offer help with regular data migrations between platforms. Many customers have told us that they find migrating from Dev -> Test -> Live to be a stressful task and often prefer to leave it to us whilst they continue with their regular work tasks.
Whilst the individual IBM Analytics products can be simple to install and configure in isolation, there’s a certain art involved in getting some of the products to fully integrate.
The good news is, this is where we can help. Getting your products talking to each other or to external software tools is another benefit of working with Frea Consulting.
There are few things more frustrating than dealing with a long-standing problem, going back and forth between IT and IBM Support working as a go-between, trying to solve a complex issue with your IBM Cognos Analytics platform.
Frea Consulting can take this pain away by managing the problem resolution from end-to-end. If we cannot fix the problem alone, then we will liaise between IBM and your IT Support team and make sure that everyone has what they need to get the problem solved.
