IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10: The Official Guide 1st Edition

I've been working with Cognos 10 for only 10 months, having never seen it before. I managed to tinker around and make some minor enhancements to the reports we use at work, but I haven't been able to build a report from scratch. This book not only shows you how to build different types of reports, but also gets into building the data sources, business and presentation layers in Framework manager. I'm still working through the book, but so far it's been great and worth every penny I paid for it. Not only does it go through tutorials, but it also explains concepts and ideas in Business Intelligence and Business Analytics. If you don't know Cognos and need to support Cognso Reports and Cubes, then this is the book for you.

The book is good, but not great. It is an IT book, you want to check youtube as well.

In addition of being a complete textbook for learning to use Cognos, it also overs the key pitfalls one will encounter from a business standpoint in real life application of BI.

Very good books to learn the basics,and covers the fundamentals of Cognos,recommened to beginners or people who are preparing for certification exam

I purchased this to help with my day to day tasks as a report writer. I have no control over the set up of the tool. The book give basic information on using the tool. The index is particularly un-helpful

Not worth the 4$. Yes, it's listed for 40+$ but it's not worth the 4$ of paper it's printed on.

At last. A complete overview, updated to IBM-Cognos 10.Easy to read, follow and understand the examples.Keep within hand's reach

A good all round book, that covers best practices. A good book to have on the shelf.
