Providence St. Joseph Health chose Cognos Analytics for its self-service modeling, but its developers, spread across California and Texas, had no reliable source control. Two people could edit the same report at once: the latest version wasn't always the latest, changes were lost, and whole reports were occasionally deleted, with no way to see who changed what. Out-of-sync processes meant constant rework.
Motio gave them a controlled check-in / check-out workflow (only one person edits a report at a time), plus a required, audited path for promoting reports, datasets, and folders from development to UAT to production. Developers run execution-time and data-validation test cases before content moves down the pipeline, catching issues early.
“Redeploying content that was promoted incorrectly took 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes, and version control finally told us who changed what, and when.”
“MotioCI is the required method for promoting reports. It enforces our naming conventions, formatting standards and a clean audit trail across every environment.”
