Make Cognos Analytics (or other reporting tool) part of the WDP

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

While the investment into DSX and WML is proceeding, a reporting service such as Cognos Analytics on Cloud is sorely missing from the WDP. Customers frequently require a reporting component in their cloud analytics solutions. The fact that Cognos Analytics is not integrated with the WDP and does not even appear on  Bluemix (and cannot be purchased through a Bluemix subscription, etc.) is a big hole in our WDP story..

If Cognos Analytics on Cloud is not suitable for integration in Bluemix and WDP then maybe some other (open source?) reporting component should become an integrated part of the WDP.

    We are working on an integration of Cognos Dashboarding capabilities into the Watson Data Platform, enabling users of WDP projects to create reports and visualizations based on the data files and connections available within the platform.
