Sometimes things blow you away... Maps in Cognos Webinar Recap
Posted by Chris Ovens on Wed, Feb 16, 2011
Wow... so... that was neat...
This morning we conducted our IBM Marketed: Maps in Cognos Webinar. We were excited a couple of weeks ago when we got the "green light" from Big Blue. Last Tuesday we were nervous about the Feb.16 date as we felt we might not have the time to get the word out.
Well, word got out...
- 1179 registrants
- 400+ attendees
- Dozens and dozens of questions rolling in
- Oodles of request for the demo recording

SpotOn's key take-aways from the session:
- Looks like interest in this map-enable report is for real (duh)
Key take-aways for the attendees of the discussion:
- Including maps in Cognos reports can add tremendous impact and business value to the information delivery;
- Empowering the Cognos report author is the key to successful map integration;
- You've made a large investing in IBM Cognos BI for important enterprise IT reasons, the integration approach must "fit" with the IBM Cognos architecture principles.
We talked about consumer versus enterprise maps as well, but I'll save those points for the ongoing mini-series.
If you tuned in, let us know what you thought. Pretty certain we'll be running the webinar again in the near future.
Cheers!
