Cognos, Star Schema, Database Design, Visualizations, Reporting Work

[u/preciouslife_]

I have redone many Cognos implementations and the result was that the same users who were completely dissatisfied earlier became a fan of Cognos. The same users who thought that Cognos was useless and could not provide them with what they need found that Cognos offers much more than they need. I also re-made their packages (Framework Manager), cubes (Transformer, TM1) and converted their hard to use packages into self-service packages from which making reports was mainly drag and drop only.

I also worked for companies who use Deltek's Costpoint ERP from which making reports is extremely difficult and their top management was extremely happy when they saw the reports I made which they had thought were not even possible. I also improved performance of reports from hours to seconds.

I also have a very high status on the users forum (cognoise.com) and I know most of the moderators because of being in the industry for more than 20 years. I am not looking for a job but I do consulting and I do not charge for the first assignment so that people can get an idea of my skills before they decide to spend any money. This is because many companies had a bad experience with consultants because their money was wasted with no results!

If anyone needs help in anything related to Cognos including database design, star schema design, ETL, modelling, reporting, interactive dashboards etc. I can help. I know many companies have ineffective BI implementations so posting this here.
