Answer
Cognos does not require Flash player for any of its components. The EOS announcement for Adobe will have no impact on Cognos Analytics. Per the recommendation of Adobe, users may uninstall Flash at their soonest convenience and continue to use Cognos without issue.
Please refer to Cognos Analytics system requirements for a full list of pre-requisites:
