1 IBM Cognos Controller: Develop Applications (V10.1) Varighed: 5.00 Days Kursus Kode: P8121DK Beskrivelse: IBM Cognos Controller: Develop Applications (V10.1) is an intermediate five-day instructor-led training course. It is designed to teach developers how to set up a Controller and effectively use Controller in their organization's consolidation process. Students will also design and generate financial reports using Controller. Through a series of lectures and hands-on exercises, students will set up a Controller by creating the necessary structures (such as accounts and companies), and then test the to ensure that it works properly. Students will also learn how to work with currency conversion, intercompany transactions, and investments in subsidiaries, as well as define configuration settings and user access to the. Målgruppe: This intermediate course is intended for Application Developers (typically people with a financial or accounting background). Forudsætninger: Students should have: Basic knowledge of group accounting
