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.
