Folks this is a real job. I worked for Cognos for 6.5 years and have been a couple of places. I have recently settled in here because of ZirMed's opportunities. For the right person, this would be an easy job for a good company..  I am on the hiring committee as I am the Cognos Architect. If you are looking for a good company with good benefits and stability please submit your resume to the ZirMed website. If you have questions, feel free to send me a PM here.

Thanks
