We have looked at Cognos Analysis Studio in this chapter, focusing first on who should use the product and how they can access it. We then took a deeper dive into understanding how to use the tool while exploring everything from simple drag-and-drop analysis creation to the data visualization concepts of charting. We wrapped up the chapter by looking at why a business would want a tool like Cognos Analysis Studio.
In the next chapter, we will explore the newest business user reporting and analysis interface, Business Insight Advanced. In Cognos Workspace Advanced, we will be able to create ad hoc reports and analyses with a simple-to-use, yet very powerful interface.
