Topic: Webinars

Dave Stark and Doug Pearce, Analysis Team, Inc.


Imagine you’ve just been assigned the role of business SME or IT analyst in an Essbase implementation project. Or maybe you’ve been designated to be administrator for an Essbase solution that your colleagues rely on for business-critical analysis and reporting. As a user, you generally know what Essbase is, but now you have to learn about how it works “under the hood.” You need to know what’s really behind the magic of the Essbase cube. 

This session is for anyone who’s new (or newish) to Essbase. We’ll help you understand the main components of Essbase and how they come together in a complete production solution. We’ll cover the key features and functions - Outlines, Load Rules, Calc Scripts, write-back, process automation, and drill-through, among others. In addition, we’ll discuss how Essbase cloud (OAC) is different from on-premise Essbase, describing a few popular reporting tools. The main objective of this session is to provide a functionality overview, which can serve as a roadmap for learning the technical details of Essbase solution development.
