IBM Extended Support that Gives Real Results
How can you keep your current Cognos estate fully supported and stable for years to come, at a fraction of the price?
The challenge:
IBM recommends Cognos customers consider a transition to more recent versions, but many are not yet ready. With the prospect of Cognos solutions reaching “end of life”, and with ever-increasing pressure on IT budgets, customers may question the return on the IBM Enterprise Support cost.
The solution:
Rather than cut support for Cognos entirely, businesses can procure support services from an experienced IBM Partner. This allows them to stay with their existing, stable version of Cognos while enjoying the highest level of IBM-certified support.
The result:
By choosing our IBM Extended Support for Cognos, customers can save from 50 to 90 percent compared with their Enterprise Support package. Meanwhile, they keep exactly the same Cognos functionality as before – and combine that with any extra services required around training, integration, or digital transformation.

How can we move our support to you from IBM?
