Business Problem

IBM Cognos Analytics is among the most widely adopted business intelligence and analytics platforms for data-driven decision-making across industries such as Healthcare, Financial Services, Insurance etc. Cognos processes sensitive information such as confidential financial data, customer trends, and user-centric transactions, hence securing access is essential.

The absence of out-of-the-box (OOTB) integration with SailPoint IdentityNow & IdentityIQ creates a significant gap. Once integrated with the SailPoint solutions, organizations will have robust user access management capabilities with comprehensive visibility into user access across their Cognos platform. The integration would enhance efficiency in managing and certifying access, assisting organizations to stay compliant with regulatory standards.
