26 Years in the Making
Tim and his company, Applied OLAP, has been in the Performance Management space for 26 years. That’s longer that many of the people in this space have worked, longer even than some of the people in this space have been on God’s green earth. That longevity isn’t accidental, but rather the result of a vision, a not unmeasurable amount of determination, a focus on continual product improvement, and oh yes – a pretty damn cool product – Dodeca.
I think so highly of the product, I wrote a chapter about it in my second book, Developing Essbase Applications: Advanced Techniques for Finance and IT Professionals. I will also note that this book is out of print and Amazon are pricing it at $170. Perhaps the Dodeca chapter is partially responsible?
Tim has been the visionary, developer (in the beginning, although he now claims he “does no work” which I am pretty skeptical of), and constant cheerleader for Dodeca and Applied OLAP’s other products.
Tim is always at ODTUG’s Kscope and holds ongoing events where new and existing customers – if you haven’t been to one of them or indeed Kscope, you owe it to yourself to do so.
In the meantime, have a listen to Tim in this episode and the one to come.
