In the last two chapters, we have looked at Cognos Query Studio and Cognos Analysis Studio. We discussed how Cognos Query Studio is designed for business users who want to create ad hoc reports. We also discussed how Cognos Analysis Studio is designed for business users who want to perform ad hoc analyses. Cognos Workspace Advanced is designed for business users that want to do both.
With Cognos Workspace Advanced, business users have one tool for creating advanced analyses and reports. The tool, like Query Studio and Analysis Studio, is designed for ease of use and is built on the same platform as the other report development tools in Cognos. Business Insight Advanced/Cognos Workspace Advanced is actually so powerful that it is being positioned more as a light Cognos Report Studio than as a powerful Cognos Query Studio and Cognos Analysis Studio.
