RELEASE Cognos Analytics 11.1

September 29 , 2018

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.1 features an all-in-one platform to empower users with an AI Assistant plus embedded smarts to help you prepare data, surface hidden/unbiased insights, and enhance understanding of analytic results. As a key component of the Analytics cycle, Cognos Analytics can measure progress versus plans, and help you understand what happened, and why, and easily identify what will drive future results.

This new release, which is a huge advance in IBM's quest to bring the full power of AI to business intelligence (BI), builds on that work but goes beyond it with new capabilities like: an AI conversational assistant, advanced analytics, AI-recommended visualizations and insights and user-centric data prep and modeling.

Thanks to many months of hard work, countless conversations with our users and lots of field testing, Cognos Analytics 11.1 is easy to use even for beginners, yet powerful enough for the most demanding data explorer. Even better, it’s built to fit virtually any budget.
