The data model and flow of the data in Cognos is as follows:

· Analyze and define the data structure in source systems.

· Use PowerPlay Transformer to connect to one or more sources of data and build multidimensional models.

· Create the Cognos PowerCubes in Transformer and distribute those multidimensional models (and/or use PowerPlay Enterprise Server for distribution and to apply security to the OLAP cubes).

· View the distributed PowerCubes using Cognos PowerPlay for Windows, PowerPlay for Excel, Powerplay Web or Cognos Visualizer.
