The Cognos software had made a name as early as 1982 for its business intelligence and performance management software and was acquired by IBM. Just like any mission critical application software such as SAP, companies using the Cognos software need to have a full time Cognos Administrator to ensure optimum operating conditions in terms of getting regular system updates, continuous availability and system enhancements and evolution with changing user requirements.
