Dare to OLAP With Oracle Essbase

Understand Your Costs and What is Contributing to Your Profit

Organisations prosper or fail according to the sophistication and speed of their information systems, and their ability to analyse and synthesise information using those systems.



Oracle’s Essbase is a business analysis server technology that provides an environment for rapidly developing custom analytical applications that deliver strategic, high return on investment solutions to business challenges such as “Which customers are most profitable?”, “What if demand falls short of supply?” or “How will an increase in costs affect my revenue and growth plans?”

In many organisation this is performed in spreadsheet based technologies with all the shortcomings and opportunities for potential errors that desktop based environments provide.

Oracle Essbase is an easily deployed and highly adaptable solution. Prototype OLAP applications can be deployed in days, and the average time to deploy production OLAP applications is measured in weeks.

Oracle Essbase was named as one of the 10 most influential technology innovations of the last 10 years by Information Age magazine in its August 2005 issue. Editor Kenny MacIver said: “Essbase was the multi-dimensional database technology that put online analytical processing on the business intelligence map. It has spurred the creation of scores of rival OLAP products – and billions of OLAP cubes.“

Please join us at this executive seminar to hear from our guest speaker, Dave Collins, Director Analytics, Oracle Performance Management and BI Business Unit, who will discuss in detail real world case studies and provide a live demonstration of the software. Dave has been involved in numerous global deployments of Essbase applications in organisations that are household names.
