How to make Cognos reports responsive using Twitter Bootstrap
Being part of a BI group, we always encounter requests from business groups that the reports need to be responsive. Cognos out of the box doesn’t support responsiveness.

Disappointed with CIBC
As a web savvy person, I know how easy it is to break into simple passwords like “summer1953”. I am shocked/appalled/horrified to learn that CIBC only allows passwords that contain number and alphabets, that is, it PROHIBITS (that’s right) putting special characters in passwords. I have contacted CIBC via e-mail and Twitter. Will update this […]
