I went to the Cognos 8 Launch at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre this afternoon. It was simulcast to various cities all over the world, with the main event happening at New York City. After the 90 minute launch, there were breakout sessions where we get to see a bit more in-depth demo’s and what’s involved in upgrading/migrating from previous versions of Cognos.
I’ve seen demos of ReportNet previously and really want to try it (still using Impromptu at work), but no money means no new products as yet :). The new framework is quite cool, as it integrates all the various Cognos products into a single framework, and really simplifies the management of the application. The capabilities extended to the end user are really amazing, and will allow so much improved business productivity. All the products seem to integrate quite well with each other, seamless it seems and very intuitive.
Really can’t wait to get my hands on these products, now if only someone had the money to get it at work…
