The hard part of a BI migration is not the reports. It is the fifteen years of business rules embedded in metadata models and report filters that nobody has documented and everybody depends on.
Holding five IBM Cognos certifications and having built enterprise Cognos estates from the architecture up, we can read what the old platform is actually doing before deciding what the new one should do. That is a different exercise from rebuilding whatever the report titles suggest.
What this includes
- Cognos to Power BI and Fabric migration, including metadata model interpretation
- QlikView, Dundas BI, SSAS and SSRS estate modernisation
- Auditing what is genuinely used before deciding what to rebuild
- Recovering and documenting undocumented business logic
- High-availability architecture across Production, DR, UAT and Development
- Authentication, identity management, multi-tenancy and folder security
- Phased cutover with parallel running
What you end up with: A modern platform that still gives the same answers as the old one - and a written record of the rules it was hiding.
Every engagement includes detailed documentation of our findings, and all source code and artefacts for any bespoke product - documented for your teams to maintain and understand. We maintain a strict level of confidentiality throughout.
