This is a COGNOS EXPERT position.

*Make sure BWC is on the right foundation and sets up data marts, cubes, etc. appropriate to most effectively and efficiently meet business requirements, recommend how to set up security, how to deploy reports, how to more efficiently run reports, do tuning and indexing, etc.

*BWC expects the work of the consultant to be done on-site here in the William Green building.
