Welcome to the Cogent Community...

 

Happy new year. Yes, it's February of 2014, but Cogent Company is glad to welcome to you of our first newsletter of the year. There are lots of things going on in the halls of Cogent as we start the year, and we are glad to highlight what we think are the most important:
  • Using Data to Your Advantage... the power of story
  • QlikView in the Cloud... scaling beyond your thought
  • Supplementing QlikView... adding more value
  • 34th Annual SIM IT Trends Study... trends affecting you

Using Data to Your Advantage   

In our last newsletter, we introduced several stories about Cogent Company engagements. We find that stories are an effective way to not only give a vision for the possibilities of how to use technology to compete, but it also provides a wonderful way to think about how to transform firms.  

 

We use stories in our Data  & Analytics practice to help organize and structure value around data. To learn more about how your firm can compete using data to your advantage, check out some of our Data & Analytics stories. For more information about how you can change your story, you can always reach us at [email protected].
