Dodeca is the most powerful and most ...Hi Rodrigo,<br /><br />Dodeca is the most powerful and most flexible user interface available for Essbase. It is easier to use, more flexible and more stable than either of the Excel add-ins and has much more functionality than the other UI's you mention.<br /><br />OBIEE does have its place and we have a number of customers who use both Dodeca and OBIEE. In those environments, we typically see Dodeca where the end user group needs high interactivity, have high data volumes and/or need a spreadsheet interface. We have customers who regularly pull back 10,000 to 100,000 cells of Essbase data in a single retrieve. We also make drill-through from Essbase to relational sources very, very easy. In those customers that also have OBIEE, they use OBIEE for some of the nice dashboarding capabilities for either high level executives or for users who don't have complex reporting requirements.<br /><br />TimTim Towhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455458983202814616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019598559914347729.post-49367952883892744602010-11-18T10:31:40.433-06:002010-11-18T10:31:40.433-06:00Hello Tim, do you usually employ Dodeca as a compl...Hello Tim, do you usually employ Dodeca as a complementary solution for Essbase implementations?<br /><br />I did not have any experience with such product but if you have docs about it I am interested to know about. Why do not you use OBIEE or former Hyperion Products, such as WEb Analysis, Interactive Reporting, etc?<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Rodrigo DonatoUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03721873278191551315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019598559914347729.post-11336651805457499452010-11-17T16:49:58.628-06:002010-11-17T16:49:58.628-06:00Hi Michael,

Oracle will also continue to support it but I wonder if they will start doing more proprietary extensions?<br /><br />TimTim Towhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455458983202814616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019598559914347729.post-82845283892339279612010-11-17T16:20:54.050-06:002010-11-17T16:20:54.050-06:00I remember that conference too, and I remember wor...I remember that conference too, and I remember working out at Countrywide (now also gone) when MS descended on them like a flock of seagulls telling them that Plato/Panorama was the future. <br /><br />Now it's the open source guys who are taking MDX seriously.Bowennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019598559914347729.post-37681509887731655942010-11-17T11:51:18.285-06:002010-11-17T11:51:18.285-06:00I don't think there any real implications for ...I don't think there any real implications for Oracle; they have put MDX pretty heavy into ASO and there is no turning back now.<br /><br />As for the product name, yes, it was Plato.<br /><br />TimTim Towhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455458983202814616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019598559914347729.post-90505238997731585142010-11-17T06:10:43.411-06:002010-11-17T06:10:43.411-06:00Wow, just wow.
