Successfully migrate from Cognos Series 7 to Cognos 8 Business Intelligence using Simpson Associates C8 Migration Service programme.

Based on proven project methodology and embracing Cognos' migration tools, Simpson Associates has developed proven processes for migrating customer Cognos Series 7 environments to Cognos 8BI. From simple to complex, customers can rely upon a thorough, planned process completed in conjunction with Cognos that ensures the correct licensing profiles are adopted in the new roles based framework that underpins Cognos 8BI.

Simpson Associates provides customers with the expertise to develop a roadmap enabling migration from Cognos Series 7 and/or Cognos ReportNet to Cognos 8 BI. This is made possible by the experience and expertise of Simpson Associates accredited consultants aligned with a close working relationship with Cognos, essential in a smooth migration to the new licensing model and components within Cognos 8BI. The Simpson Associates C8 Migration Service enables you to bring the benefits and powerful features of Cognos 8 BI to your current Cognos BI applications by migrating, where possible, customer existing frameworks, catalogs, reports, models and business rules forward. This allows conversion into the Cognos 8 environment where required and when this is desirable for customers wishing to convert current operational environments.
