We need a consultant who is a Cognos or data warehouse architect and who has set up an organization with Cognos before.  This consultant should also be familiar with setting up security for Cognos (identifying the security levels and how to administer the security).  This person will not write reports; but will help BWC determine how to set up Cognos with our Oracle data warehouse.

The largest tables contain over 20 years of history and exceed 100 million records.  The current reporting tool includes about 2,000 reports in 400 documents.
