Navigate mountains of content to cloud native reporting with ease.​

When it’s time for your Amazon QuickSight migration, Ironside can accelerate the process. Our AscentIQ solution combines best practices and proven tools for getting your business intelligence function where it needs to be. Whether you’re moving from Cognos to QuickSight, or from another legacy tool, we’re ready with insights into everything from pre-migration planning to post-migration adoption.

BI CONTENT ASSESSMENT (BCA)

A rapid assessment makes it easy to clean house.

For those organizations seeking to migrate their BI reports and dashboards, or just streamline the user experience, assessing the consumption and feature usage of your content is the place to start. It can reduce your migration effort by up to 50% or more and it also helps prevent you from devoting resources to migrating content of low/no value that will only serve to clutter your new environment.

In just a fraction of the time it would take to conduct a manual assessment, AscentIQ can complete a thorough, intelligent audit. Our BCA dashboard summarizes 3 key metrics that impact migration:

1 Usage/Amount
2 Complexity
3 Compatibility
In addition, the metrics and supporting detail drive the rationalization process to improve understanding and the estimation of costs and effort associated with your migration.

Three powerful accelerators add up to a high-speed move.

We’ve developed powerful accelerators for each phase of your Amazon QuickSight migration.

RATIONALIZATION ASSESSMENT

Over seventeen dashboards determine relevant content that should be migrated, coupled with a scoring engine to estimate the cost and effort to migrate.

THE COOKBOOK

A fully automated documentation engine for Cognos reports is now possible. Our Cookbook is a technical specs guide that reveals the “ingredients” of Cognos reports without tedious, time-consuming discovery and analysis, or the need for a dedicated Analyst.

CONTENT CREATION ACCELERATOR

Using an AWS assets-as-code approach, Ironside has developed a conversion utility to help migrate compatible reports quickly, saving weeks, or even months, of development time.

Leverage AscentIQ to glean greater value from your analytics content.

PLAN

After gaining an understanding of your current analytic requirements and use cases, user needs, and existing gaps, we can create and socialize a vision of your new reporting environment.

MIGRATE

We help move your reporting function from one environment to another by sharing how reports were constructed and their value to the user community. Additionally, our proven methodology can reimagine reporting using your new toolset.

ADOPT

We work hard to generate excitement and enthusiasm across your user community and ensure users know what to expect so they can feel confident they they will thrive in their new reporting environment.

Enterprise-ready Amazon QuickSight.

Ironside is excited to be working with the Amazon QuickSight team and to share their Enterprise Reporting support capabilities. While self-service visualization solutions have become powerful tools for business users, the centralized/curated enterprise reports are the “gold copy” of data across business functions that are used to understand the status of businesses.

Ironside offers an Amazon QuickSight Immersion Day to help our companies learn how to use QuickSight, implement target use cases, and introduce Ironside’s AscentIQ assets to migrate legacy reports to Amazon QuickSight.
