BKB and Bank Cler - Analytical Information System
„iRIX enabled the migration of the existing reporting to the new version, which is a huge added value. We are very satisfied with the performance and support of iRIX and appreciate the uncomplicated handling.“
Business Analyst, Finance and Risk Division Basler Kantonalbank
Challenge
After many years of operation with Cognos and the announced end of support for this version, the existing platform must be modernised. However, the version changeover requires complex changes in dimensional reporting and the resulting quality assurance. Due to the changeover, all users must be trained with regard to the new user interface and the numerous changes in dimensional reporting.
Solution
iRIX modernises the platform by updating to Cognos 11 Analytics and ensures the system operates in a stable manner. This required some adjustments, such as the temporary storage of data (caching). iRIX migrated the existing Cognos 10 reporting to the new version. Cognos 11 is also used at Bank Cler. Bank Cler is part of the BKB Group.
Added value for the client
The new version offers additional features: Dashboards are much easier to build and can be created by the users themselves. Some new time filter aspects have also been provided by IBM that simplify relative time queries. One is the new dashboard function of Cognos, which gives the customer another option compared to those offered by static reports. With Cognos, the customer creates recurring data evaluations such as the monthly closing reporting. Cognos is also used for technical analyses and for the dissemination of various key figures and statistics within the group.
