  • 1.  MS Teams integration --> Cognos Cloud NOT supported

    Posted Thu January 18, 2024 05:49 AM

    Hi community, hope you are doing well!

    I'm starting to get fed up with the Cognos offering, so just sharing my frustration with Cognos - so bear with me, and apologies on beforehand, if I tread on anyone's toes.

    We are currently on a Cognos Analytics on Cloud Hosted solution. We recently got our IT-team to start integrating Cognos with MS Teams. After a while working on it, we hit a dead end and weren't able to get it working, so we contacted IBM support. Got a shocking reply, that MS Teams is only supported by Cognos on prem installations. What the h..l? Are you kidding me? Why on earth isn't it supported? 

    Have never seen anything about this limitation, in the documentation regarding integrating the applications, but support could of course show us that it is written in the documentation for the Cognos Analytics offerings

    Hello Sandeep,

    It seems that is not currently supported according to the following information in "Third-party and partner tools".

    I thought like you it was but...

    Hi Loic,

    Yeah, I added the link to the documentation, so I know about it now - but I didn't before creating the post. I cant get wrap my head around why MS Teams integration isn't supported on hosted cloud. They have a offering that they want their customers to migrate to, that is inferior to having it on prem. And the gap seems to be increasing as more features are added to the product.

    If I had to choose again, I would have opted for keeping Cognos on prem
