A massive help guide!  2009-01-06
Having been a user of Cognos products back to Impromptu version 4, this is the first comprehensive guide/manual that delivers what it promises!
Well worth the price!
Good Product 2008-12-08
While I have not read this book completely. It is a good book for those who want more insight in Report Studio, Framework Manager, Analysis Studio and etc. However, this book is not a good resource for Cognos Administrators. Administrators should stick to the Cognos documentation and resources.
Helpful Material  2008-11-06
This book gives you a fast overview of all aspects of Cognos and is written in language you can understand. You are going to need the Cognos reference manuals once you start developing but the book will help clear up areas the manuals do a poor job explaining.
IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence 2008-07-18
I found the book to have a ton of useful examples on how to write reports using Cognos and on how to use some of the more complicated features. For example, creating a union in a report and how to use a Master-Detail relationship in a report. There are examples for just about everything.
Great read at any skill level 2008-07-17
IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence: The Official Guide is definitely a different kind of technology book. It provides real-world expert advise, tips, and techniques for all different types of Cognos users. For business users and managers, this book provides straightforward information on Cognos BI concepts to empower business decisions. Even if you're experiencing Cognos for the first time, after leafing through the first few chapters, users at any level should feel comfortable navigating the Cognos interface, running analysis, scheduling reports, and even authoring some reports. For more experienced developers, this book goes above and beyond a simple reference guide, How-To document, or Knowledge Base article. Combining best practices with expert techniques in Framework Manager, Event Studio, Report Studio, and Analysis Studio, more technical users will be able to quickly deliver superior data models and unlock enhanced reporting capabilities. After reading this book, regardless of your skill level, you will improve your knowledge and understanding of the Cognos tools and environment.
