Cognos: Reporting Assistance Requests

Cognos Business Intelligence is a web-based, integrated business intelligence suite by IBM. It provides a toolset primarily used for reporting data from our student information system, CX, but can also be integrated with other databases. The software consists of several components to meet the different information needs of HMC. Reporting is a powerful driving force in aiding to make informed decisions for many departments at HMC. Discovering trends, government reporting, and mailing lists are just a few examples of the ways these departments take advantage of this user-friendly access to information. Training, documentation, and report generation are available to HMC faculty and staff.

Service Description

Reporting assistance is available to help refine and compose reports in Cognos. CIS also accepts reporting requests by providing the output of requested reports, and publishing them so that they can be run in the future, or scheduled and output to emails. Some reporting requests require collaboration with other departments.

Availability

Available to faculty, staff, and emeritus at HMC.
