Efficient data analysis with IBM Cognos Analytics and Transformer
IBM Cognos Analytics enables companies to optimize data-based decisions with powerful analysis and visualization tools. The Transformer is a central tool for creating multidimensional cubes that enable fast and flexible data analysis. Targeted training of employees in the use of the Transformer is essential in order to efficiently create data models, precisely implement calculations and sustainably accelerate analysis processes – for maximum BI performance.
The better your employees master the BI tools used, the more efficiently they can use them. A well-trained team becomes a real competitive advantage for your company. Contact us – together we will find the optimal solution for you.
