Essentials for IBM Cognos BI

Duración: 5 Días Código del Curso: B5170G

Temario:

NOTE THAT FOR THIS COURSE, YOU MUST TRAVEL TO THE CLASSROOM LOCATION. THIS IS A BLENDED LEARNING OFFERINGWHERE THE 5 DAYS OF CLASSROOM MATERIAL IS TAUGHT IN A PUBLIC CLASSROOM, NOT A VIRTUAL CLASSROOM.Essentials for IBM Cognos BI (V10.1) is a blended offering consisting of five-days of instructor-led training (ILT) and 21 hours of Web-basedself-paced training. This accelerated offering is intended for core project team members wishing to acquire a broad understanding of aBusiness Intelligence platform implementation. During the ILT, you will perform hands-on demos and workshops that cover three essentialtopic areas: Report Authoring, Modeling, and Administration of a BI platform. Throughout the ILT, you will be guided to more-in depth trainingofferings and paths leading to certification.
