Open Logic Systems training courses – as individual as your company

Target audience: IBM Cognos Analytics modelers

Duration: 3 days (online / on site – as required)

The theoretical basics are conveyed in the form of a lecture followed by practical exercises in the form of workshops. Additional visualizations, etc. are used to convey complex issues (e.g. workflows). Participants can ask questions at any time during the lecture. At the beginning of each day and before each new topic block, the respective learning objectives will be explained.

In this workshop we impart specific knowledge that modelers need for their work with IBM Cognos Analytics and the data modules. The following list shows exactly which topics you can expect. If necessary, we will respond to individual questions at any time. We would be happy to put the respective modules together for your tailor-made training, also with your sample data and structures.
