Unleash the Power of Data Insight with the Latest Cognos Analytics and Watson 11.2.4 Release!
February 03, 2023

We are thrilled to announce IBM Cognos Analytics with Watson 11.2.4 has arrived!
In this version, Cognos brings important and exciting news to reinforce IBM's commitment to offering a complete self-service experience available anywhere. And news comes from different components of the product.
Cognos Analytics with Watson 11.2.4 includes the following enhancements:
- Query engine performance improvements
- Microsoft™ Teams integration for Cognos reports
- Data source support
- Capability to render maps in PDF and Excel
- Natural language generation in dashboards
- Themes support for toolbar colors
Cognos users will be able to see many enhancements in their dashboards that will guarantee greater control and flexibility, such as e.g., better manipulation of the zoom level when a dashboard is utilizing an absolute layout
Talking about Dashboards, the Cognos AI news brings one of the most exciting of recent times: Natural language narrative insights. Now the dashboard creators can easily visualize insights that help them to explain the data and find outliers and key drivers that facilitate and accelerate data analysis. And what is also awesome is that the Dashboard authors can mark a narrative insight as a favorite and choose the order in which their favorite insights will be displayed to dashboard consumers
And how about the ability to share Cognos content through collaborative tools? Cognos now supports embedding both Cognos Reports and Cognos Dashboards to Microsoft Teams tabs and also allows you to share this content with multiple types of recipients in one go!
Cognos Analytics 11.2.4 also brings many Data Access and Data Modeling Updates that will excite our users. New connectors, JWT support for Dremio, and a new level of granularity to the ability to control user capabilities are some of this news.
Other standout updates are the new customization options in our already highly flexible Cognos Analytics content navigation.
