IBM Cognos 10 BI SDK Application To Merge Reports

Some clients wish to merge reports, one after another. For that, IBM Cognos offers a utility to merge more than 1 reports. I worked on developing that with my colleague Jurgen. The Cognos SDK application is now published on IBM developerWorks.

You can read about the utility and how it works on the dW article (link provided below).

Review: IBM Cognos Mobile app for iPad

I didn't get to play with my hands-on IBM Cognos Mobile app on iPad however I've found a nice review of it in two parts. It's a neat and clean app which works smoothly as it should be. The reviews are positive about it and best of all, it supports offline mode. So, you can take reports/dashboards with you and jump on a flight for your meeting with customers and get all the analytics fun in flight.

It's really amazing app for CXOs and BI users who travel a lot during their course of work. You could digest all your reports and get all insights and when you arrive in your company's network again, you could connect and refresh all those.

The app from iTunes store comes with sample reports and dashboards built in it with multiple levels of sophistication to play around app completely. It's nice, really nice.
