Health Check
A Clear Apex IBPM Planning Analytics/Cognos TM1 Health Check is a service provided to existing IBM PA/Cognos TM1 customers who are looking to realize the full potential of their IBM PA/TM1 system.
When do you need a Health Check?
-
your users are complaining about system performance
-
your TI processes for loading, moving or exporting data are slower than you would expect
-
you find it difficult to maintain and manage your system due to complicated processes/chores or deficient system documentation
-
you have heard about all the new features of the latest versions of IBM Planning Analytics and want to take advantage of these new features in your system
What is a Health Check?
A Clear Apex IBM PA/TM1 Health Check is a comprehensive review of your system with the final result being a set of clear recommendations that will address performance, maintainability, documentation and good practice design issues within your IBM PA/TM1 system.
The Health Check process includes:
-
Interviews with the system administrators and key business users to understand the key pain points that are being experienced
-
Complete review of your system architecture including: analysis of your cubes and rules; review of Turbo Integrator processes/chores to understand the data flows of your system
-
Review of key reports and data entry templates
-
Review of the system security model
plus much more.
How long does a Health Check take?
You may want a Health Check on your entire system or particular modules where you are experiencing issues. So the length of an engagement depends on the size and complexity the system being analyzed.
On a typical IBM PA/TM1 Financial Reporting system a Health Check would take 5-15 days depending on the size and complexity of the system.
What is the first step to a Health Check?
Clear Apex offers a FREE one-half hour analysis call to review your pain-points and goals you are looking to achieve for your Health Check. Based on this conversation a customized Health Check can be created to achieve your goals.
