MARCH 2021 UPDATE
: The mobile app can now be used on-premise in addition to cloud!  Read the announcement here.

We are extremely excited and proud to annouce to first release of our new IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile application for our Cloud Hosted and On-Demand Cloud customers.  This is a new pillar in our mobile support and brings an exciting new way to bring analytics on-the-go to our users.

When designing and building this app, we spoke to over a hundred customers  We heard loud and clear that you have users such as executive that need targetted analytics on their phones.  And this is exactly what we are delivering!

When a user starts the app, the first thing they will see are their pin boards.  Pin boards are a mobile-optimized way to view visualizations on a smart phone, and a whole new concept to Cognos.  Users can quickly thumb through different pins and different boards that contain just the data that's most important to you.  When there's an important change or anomoly in your data, users get targetted push notifications.  And when a user needs to see some data ad-hoc, they can ask the Cognos Assistant, using their voice!



All this is made possible thanks to the integration of leading Cognos technologies such as governance and AI.  Your BI team can curate visualizations into pin boards, and then share those out to different roles and groups in the organization.  They can also define the alerts so that those users get those targetted push notifications.  All this is done leveraging your existing content and data connections.  Since all this can be curated for end-users, those users have virtually zero configuration!
