- Created: 14 July 2015
iRIX succeeded in upgrading and migrating the existing reporting platform IBM Cognos to the latest version and binding it to SAP BI on HANA as the major data source.
Project challenges
Changing underlying database: Oracle was replaced by SAP HANA as data source
- Technical upgrade and migration of 3'000 existing reports and more than 40 metadata models
- Minimizing downtime of involved systems
- Support of LOB in signing-off defined reports in different priority classes
- Adopting “Look&Feel” of IBM Cognos according to customer needs
Service Delivery
Technical installations and migration services were the main tasks. Additionally, we utilized tools from our partner Motio in order to automate the testing of reports and to accelerate significantly the testing process. Therefore we were able to successfully terminate the project within time and budget.
Our customer has now access to a powerful and performant reporting platform supporting data intensive business processes more effectively.
