Proven IBM Cognos to QuickSight migration—fixed scope, senior engineers
Yes, migrating IBM Cognos Analytics to Amazon QuickSight is a well-understood project. We scope it, run it with senior engineers, and keep legacy Cognos running until you're ready. Fixed cost, no surprises.
The lowest-cost way off IBM Cognos Analytics: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Cognos Analytics → Amazon QuickSight after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project: $75K–$350K, 3–6 months, 2–4 senior engineers.
- ✓Continuous legacy Cognos operations throughout your development phase.
- ✓Direct integration with your AWS cloud data lake—Redshift, Aurora, Athena.
- ✓40–70% savings on legacy platform support while you plan your move.
- ✓24/7 US-based support, pre- and post-migration.
- ✓Amazon QuickSight SPICE cost optimization after go-live.
Complex legacy output requirements
Cognos bursting to FTP/email and pixel-perfect print layouts must keep working. Unlike in-place migrations, your users can't tolerate a gap. Our method maintains both environments until QuickSight passes user acceptance.
Hard-to-move data sources
Direct mainframe or Db2 connections from Cognos can't shift overnight. We stage the database migration to AWS (Redshift, Aurora, Athena) while Cognos still uses the old connection. Reports never break.
Urgent cost reduction, zero tolerance for risk
Corporate pressure to reduce BI licensing costs but no room for reporting downtime. Our fixed-scope project gives you a clear budget and timeline, so you can show progress without risking business reporting.
IBM Cognos Analytics → Amazon QuickSight migration — your questions answered
Will my Cognos reporting stop during the migration?+
We keep your legacy Cognos environment live during development. Reports continue to burst to FTP/email. Pixel-perfect print layouts remain unchanged until your team validates QuickSight outputs. No forced cutover.
Can Cognos-to-QuickSight migration handle direct mainframe or Db2 connections?+
Yes, easily. We handle direct Db2 and mainframe connections, mapping them to Amazon RDS, Redshift, or Athena as part of the project scope. Your data moves with the migration.
What is the typical timeline and budget for a Cognos to QuickSight migration?+
Typical projects run 3–6 months with 2–4 senior engineers. Budget ranges from $75,000 to $350,000—fixed scope, no overruns. Timeline depends on report count and data complexity.
What support do I get after the migration project ends?+
Your legacy platform stays under vendor support while your vendor contract is active—no forced big-bang cutover. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on Cognos while you finish the move.
Your Cognos to QuickSight path: fixed scope, proven team
Post-migration, our engineers manage your AWS BI infrastructure and optimize SPICE consumption. Keep your BI costs predictable while users adopt QuickSight. Schedule your architecture assessment to start the move.
