Beyond the Dashboard: The Future of Cognos Analytics, Reporting and AI

Date & Time: 18 November 2026 • 10:00am - 10:45am

Business intelligence is changing.

For years, dashboards have been the default way for organisations to monitor performance and explore their data. But as reporting requirements become more complex and AI capabilities continue to develop, businesses are beginning to ask a different question: do we really need another dashboard, or do we simply need better answers from our data?

Join HAYNE Solutions and IBM for a practical 45-minute webinar exploring how IBM Cognos Analytics is evolving to support the next generation of reporting and analytics.

Stephen Green from IBM will demonstrate the latest Cognos Analytics capabilities live, including developments in reporting, dashboards and AI-assisted analytics, while HAYNE will provide practical context around how these capabilities can be applied within real-world reporting environments.

During the session, we’ll explore:

  • How business intelligence is evolving beyond traditional dashboards
  • The latest developments in IBM Cognos Analytics, including Cognos Analytics 12.2
  • How AI and natural-language capabilities can make it easier to find, understand and interact with business data
  • How trusted data, governance and consistent reporting remain fundamental as AI becomes more widely adopted
  • How reporting and dashboarding continue to evolve alongside new AI capabilities
  • How Cognos Analytics can connect with the wider IBM analytics ecosystem
  • What current Cognos Analytics users should be considering as the platform continues to develop

The session will include a live demonstration of Cognos Analytics, giving attendees the opportunity to see the latest functionality in action and ask questions directly to experts from HAYNE and IBM.

Whether you are an existing Cognos Analytics customer, use other IBM analytics solutions, or are simply exploring how reporting and business intelligence are changing in the age of AI, this session will provide a practical look at what is available today and where enterprise analytics is heading.
