Has Anyone Upgraded from Cognos Planning 8.3 to 8.4?

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

One of my clients is thinking about doing the upgrade. I would like to get some feedback from those of you who have been through it. Here is one of the comments I received through one of my LinkedIn discussion groups:

“The most significant change is the new Contributor client which gives better visibility (for things like nested hierarchies, etc.). Then there are some differences in the way data extensions are created, which has some bugs that are not covered by knowledge base yet (at least for our applications). Overall I’d say it is more user friendly and more aligned with BI studios with regards to navigation. But you’d better test it out in a development environment first to make sure that everything works.”
