Windows 7 requires IBM Cognos Planning Upgrade Webinar, 10:00AM - 10:45AM Pacific Time
If your company is like many others, you are probably moving to Windows 7 as a standard platform for desktops and laptops. But you may not be aware (until it is too late) that all but the latest version of IBM Cognos Planning do not run on Windows 7. (The same is true for Windows 2008.) Unfortunately, many Cognos Planning users have been caught off-guard and seriously impacted by this incompatibility. What to do? Is there an upgrade path? What are the impacts to users and my other systems? What about my planning applications and models, will they need to change? This brief webinar will present practical information and advice on upgrading to Cognos Planning 8.4.1. You will learn about the system requirements for this upgrade, as well as the significant new features that it offers. Finance and FP&A professionals, IT managers and staff who use or support a Cognos Planning environment will benefit from this complimentary webinar. This session will include:
Overview of "What's New" in Cognos Planning 8.4.1, System requirements, Upgrade effort & potential impacts, Migration approaches and Integration with Cognos Business Intelligence 8.4.1.
