IBM Cognos Administrator and Developer On-Site Mentoring

Cognos 8 Administrator and Developer Mentoring

When formal classroom training is not the optimal solution, we have found that informal, one-on-one mentoring provides for impactful and immediate learning while at the same time delivering valuable solutions to existing project issues.

When is mentoring the preferred learning solution?

  • You have fewer than 4 people that need training
  • You have an existing implementation, or would like to have an environment set up as quickly as possible
  • Your IT staff is stretched thin and cannot afford to spend days away from the workplace in order to attend class
  • You are looking for the most relevant and immediate learning available – all done while solving existing problems
  • Your staff requires knowledge in a broad range of topics

Who will deliver the mentoring solution?

  • An experienced Senturus solutions architect with 5 or more years of experience designing and delivering Cognos solutions
  • A resource with a strong background in delivering a variety of training solutions to clients
  • The Senturus team approach means that our entire bench of diverse resources can be made available, if needed

What does a typical solution look like?:

  • The Senturus solutions architect will work with your team ahead of time to determine the current needs and craft a precise statement of work
  • Most engagements last one to two days, and topics covered can include (but are not limited to):
    • Detailed Cognos System architecture overview
    • Hardware, software and network topologies
    • Capacity planning and Scalability
    • Applications and services
    • Data flows, memory, processing and communication bandwidth implications
    • Security configuration
    • Audit logging
    • Common troubleshooting tips
    • Recommended maintenance
    • Performance Tuning
    • Relational and OLAP data modeling assistanc
