The highly regarded Essbase figure Tim Tow of Applied OLAP called me the other day to inform me that my submissions for ODTUG were accepted! Details are still being worked out, but the focus of the first talk will be on data load optimization (a matter very near and dear to my heart) as well as a sponsored presentation on Dodeca, which is one of Applied OLAP’s flagship products (and also increasingly near and dear to me).

These will be my first presentations in front of the Hyperion/Essbase community so I am hopeful when the time comes I will be able to cram the hour into one of the most useful and comprehensive sessions ever. For those of you out there in the Essbase community that I haven’t met or spoken to, I’ll be seeing you in Monterey next year!
