You can connect cognos and any reporting/BI that integrates generically with JDBC.  This is a primary use case for data virtualization as the integration capabilities of reporting tools is typically lacking and can eliminate concerns such as creating a new data mart.

Keethana,

Were you able to connect Cognos to DV? I would be very interested to know the details on how the process went or issues you encountered? I would like to try the same. I very much appreciate your reply.

Thanks

Ramesh..
