Cognos Analytics Registration:

Planning Analytics Registration:

Join us at the upcoming Cognos Analytics and Planning Analytics User Group Sessions on August 16th.  This event is sponsored by Versatil and hosted by IBM as a hybrid event in Ottawa, both virtually and in person. In this first event, IBM will introduce the Content Hub, which allows users to have one user interface for BI and planning, including non-IBM technologies such as PowerBI, Tableau, etc.

This user group is intended for clients to come together, share their experiences, knowledge and use cases around the IBM Business Analytics suite of solutions, including Cognos Analytics and Planning Analytics. These sessions will also provide users with key announcements, new product releases, and roadmaps. Note that this is not a sales event and will appeal to end users, business users and data scientists alike. Let us help you succeed with the best IBM Analytics technologies at your fingertips.

Please note that this event is a hybrid event.

You are invited to join either virtually or in-person if you are in the Ottawa area, which will be held at either IBM Riverside or IBM Zibi.  Final location will be determined based on number of registrations.  We may switch to remote-only if interest for in-person attendance is low.
