Cognos Analytics is uniquely positioned for success
The world has fundamentally changed since Covid-19 and the expectations of decision making along with it. More than ever before, faster pivots are needed requiring access to large volumes of data, accelerated time to insights and more collaboration. Economic pressures are driving new decisions on the total cost of analytics and organizations are streamlining vendors to fewer choices looking for alternative pricing, flexible deployment models and consolidated analytics stacks.
