New BI Gateway is now live

We have officially launched the BI Gateway, a new tool for accessing Business Intelligence (BI) Reports, that replaces Analysis for Excel reporting.

Please note, all Analysis for Excel reports will be sunset and inaccessible via Citrix starting August 27th, 2021. We highly recommend that you start converting your Analysis for Excel favorites to corresponding BI Gateway Stories (reports). 

How to access the BI Gateway:

• Direct link: http://bi.weill.cornell.edu/
• Via the Business Intelligence Gateway tile in WBG
