All The Cognos News Fit to Print

The Performance Guys are happy to report that our good friends at Cognos are now reaching out to us directly to keep us informed on all the great things happening with Cognos and IBM. According to the note from Cognos,

"The Performance Guys is a respected business
intelligence site and we’d like to help keep you and your readers
up-to-date on what’s happening at Cognos."

We appreciate the compliment. In the future we hope we can evolve to "highly respected," followed by "industry leading" and potentially over time, "market moving." We are all about performance.

Here are the latest updates from our friends at Cognos.

We look forward to getting more updates from the Cognos team and commenting as and when appropriate. Or when we get a minute to comment.
