Workshop on Business Intelligence using IBM Cognos BI is a 3 days course . This

course is designed to impart the fundamental understanding of Business Intelligence

and Data Warehouse supports provided to the participants. From a Data Warehouse

perspective, the course gives an overview of the mechanisms used to build a Data

Warehouse. From a Business Intelligence perspective, it covers some analysis

techniques such as OLAP and data mining. After this course participant can access

reports, analysis, dashboards, scoreboards, scorecards, planning and budgets, real-

time information, statistics and manage information for more informed decisions. Also

participants can work within a highly scalable and extensible solution that can adapt to

the changing needs of IT and the business with flexible deployment options that include

the cloud, mainframes and data warehousing applications.

Prerequisites for Workshop:

● Participant should have a solid understanding of of Concepts of RDBMS, Basic

concepts of Data Warehousing & Data Mining, Understanding of Web

Technologies & Web Based Reporting

● Tool Used : IBM Cognos BI

Taking into account the latest trend practiced in industry in developing projects,

Atharva College of Engineering , Mumbai, purchased IBM SEED to bridge the gap

between academics and industry and make our student industry-ready.

Organizations are pressured constantly to understand and react quickly to information.

With a capable and efficient business intelligence solution, all levels of an organization

can receive information how, when, and where they need it to make faster and better

aligned decisions. Many organizations often satisfy this complexity and these diverse

demands with a number of point solutions. With IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI)

solutions, you can satisfy needs throughout the user community and ensure that

everyone can work and collaborate from a consistent set of data. In addition, IT is

simplified with fewer components to

deploy, manage, and maintain.

On the first day of FDP, Mr.

Vickee Chichghare addressed

the faculties about the need of

keeping up with technology and

the importance of using IBM

Cogno’ Software while

developing the projects

Dr.S. P. Kallurkar, Principal , Atharva

College of Engineering emphasised that all

the faculties should ensure that they make use

of this FDP as a platform to develop projects

guided by them using this tool.

The sessions started with the basics of Data

AET’s ATHARVA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Malad West, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

FDP on Business Intelligence using IBM Cogon’s 5

Warehouse and database concepts and then all the understanding of the IBM

Cognos 10 BI tool was done with the help of a case study.At last some lab

assignment was given. All the four days involved theory as well practical sessions

and more importance was given to hands-on sessions.

Day 2 started with an Introduction of Report Studio followed by Report generation by

using filters and calculations.Graphical Data Representation was also covered during

the session.The day 3 has covered task related to Framework Manager followed by

task of designing Presentation View of a report .

The speaker gave a clear picture of importance of Database & Datawarehouse in

industry while developing projects. He discussed the various methods of generating

reports. He also discussed the various challenges faced during the development of the

project in industry and in result how this tool overcome all the challenges in project

development.

Feedback by faculties

The feedback of the faculty was extremely positive. They were grateful for being

granted such a great opportunity of getting this vast amount of knowledge and learning

from Industry expert.

Participation

All the faculties from Department of Computer Engineering and Information

Technology Participated in the FDP. There are some faculty members from outside

organization also involved in this training program.
