What if I need a report from Cognos 10?

The Cognos server will not be shut down for a few months to allow for a smooth transition, but will no longer be accessible to personnel outside of the IT team. If you need information from Cognos 10, please submit a request to the IT Support Portal. Note that Cognos 10 requests will be given low priority due to the long transition and testing period and ample communication about the End of Life timeline.
