Developing Essbase Applications ─ Hybrid Techniques and Practices

Continuing the advanced technical knowledge focus found in Developing Essbase Applications, this second volume is another collaborative effort by some of the best and most experienced Essbase practitioners. Technology areas that are much-discussed but still very new--Exalytics and Enterprise Performance Management applications, the latest improvements to the Essbase engine, the impact of new reporting and analysis tools, and Essbase data design and implementation good practices--are reviewed by practitioners who live Essbase.
