I am a business analytics solutions architect with over 15 years of experience with Business Analytics. Specializing in difficult requests, I am often called upon to find solutions to "impossible" problems. While focused on Cognos, I am well versed with all facets of the BI life-cycle, be it requirements gathering, architecture, ETL, and reporting.Throughout my career, I had the pleasure of working in many different industries. Manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, finance, telecoms, education, and several different flavors of government, each has provided me the opportunity to learn new methodologies and the unique needs and challenges those companies face. The vast range of industries has also exposed me to a wide range of implementations, from small shops with a dozen users, to a global enterprise with thousands of users across dozens of international sites.My technical blog (http://cognospaul.com/) on Cognos receives hundreds of views a day, and the techniques I've published are used by many companies throughout the world. My techniques often blend Cognos functionality and JavaScript to make the Cognos experience much easier for the end user.I am the creator of the CogBox suite of extensions for Cognos. It is a set of tools to extend the usability of Cognos and make life easier for developers.
