MotioCI Saves a Corrupted IBM Cognos Content Store at DaVita HealthCare

MotioCI was implemented and DaVita immediately saw improvements in ease of deploying between environments and quickly reverting to previous content versions.

Just 4 months after MotioCI was installed, DaVita’s content store got into an unstable state due to a combination of events in Cognos. The MotioCI version control capabilities and support team allowed DaVita to pinpoint the cause of the problem and return their Content Store to a stable state. Had MotioCI not been in place, they would have lost months worth of work.

"After we deploy to production, if something was missed in testing, or we have an issue, we can very easily roll back to a previous version using the MotioCI tool."

-Jon Coote, CIRA

"MotioCI is an active insurance policy. It is doing exactly what we wanted it to do."

-Molly Doyle, University of Colorado

"I know of one instance several weeks ago where a set of reports went missing off the development environment and a ticket was submitted for the BACC support team. We were able to quickly show them how you can just restore the missing reports using MotioCI and their panic was over. It's evidence like that, that we see with version control, that just makes our life easier."

-David Kelly, IBM BACC

"There was no other alternative to MotioCI for us to achieve standardization in Cognos. Without it, we would be in a situation where we would have to fight fires every day just to make sure things are done according to our requirements."

-Sean Nguyen, Sr. Information Architect, Providence St. Joseph Health

"Finding a solution which minimized risk and guaranteed that our existing security policies remained intact was very important to us. We were very impressed with the smoothness of the transition."

-Lisa Kelley, HealthPort

"We could not manage our environment without MotioCI. The release team is no longer the bottleneck. Processes are going smoothly."

-Richard Wylde, Catlin Insurance Group

"We had one report author delete a series of reports and could not recover them without restoring the entire Cognos Content Store, thus losing all of the work completed since the last backup. We know how valuable version control is and we knew we had to have it."

-Dustin Jordan, Texas Tech University

"When our Dev content store crashed, we had just implemented MotioCI four months prior. If we had not had MotioCI, we would have been in a really, really bad situation. Right there, it paid for itself. We would have lost months worth of development effort that was only in the Dev environment."

-Mark Mortensen, DaVita

"The automated testing provided by MotioCI proved invaluable. With so many reports being created and modified, and the framework model and data sources evolving, it was a huge advantage to have MotioCI proactively pointing out inconsistencies and errors."

-Tim McGuire, AmeriPath

"By having MotioCI we directly save 500 hours per year on hiring external specialists for Cognos, so we actually reduce our out-of-pocket costs."

-Rob Bakker, Eneco

"The relationship with Motio is an integral part of our rapidly expanding BICC, enabling holistic change control and proactive issues resolution on our critical reporting portfolio. It has and will continue to increase end user satisfaction and reduce total cost of ownership of our enterprise wide IBM Cognos BI environment."

-Simon Gratton, Telus
