  • 1.  Self-service BI thrives on rock-solid data modules — equip your team with the know-how

    Posted Sun July 13, 2025 01:21 PM

    Ad-hoc dashboards empower every corner of your business — until inconsistent models start spouting contradicting insights. Nip that chaos in the bud by sending your BI squad to one of our newest IBM Intensive Learning courses, the "IBM Cognos Analytics 12: Modeling with Data Modules" (ITS-J5320G).

    The course delivers:

    • One shared playbook. Your analysts learn the same best-practice approach to relationships, navigation paths, and row-level security — no more rogue Excel joins sneaking into production.

    • Built-in performance. Labs cover summary tables, caching, and data-module optimization so “slow dashboard” tickets never make it to your inbox.

    • Governance on autopilot. Model-level lineage and exportable documentation give auditors and new hires the clarity they crave.

    • A retention kicker. Graduates earn an IBM digital badge HR can map to career ladders — skills (and talent) stay in-house.

    Block one day for this six-hour course, enroll the team, buy a team-building lunch, and watch self-service go from risky to reliable. 

    Check out this course and the many other great courses in the IBM Training catalog.

    This looks like a really valuable course for teams struggling with self-service BI consistency. I've noticed that many businesses run into the same issues when scaling dashboards - especially with row-level security and performance bottlenecks. I'll definitely explore this training.

    On a related note, I've been researching how different platforms (including analytics tools used in sports gaming apps) approach performance optimization and user experience. For anyone curious, I've shared some notes here
