The initial setup of Oracle Essbase is dependent on whether you select BSO or ASO cubes. First, you need to set up the type of information and once the type of cubes is defined, you need to define the dimension types. You keep working with the business to have all the dimensions migrated and everything they want in Oracle Essbase. Apart from that, the only difficult thing is if finance is not clear on the final result they want, it will be really difficult to have Oracle Essbase provide added value to the business. Finance needs to be clear on the final result, and you need to have a space for pricing analysis, so let's get the data from your CRM or from other management modules. However, it's a big investment for pricing alone, and I don't recommend anyone to use Oracle Essbase for only one thing. You can do everything in terms of finance in Oracle Essbase as long as you know what you want and expect clear outcomes because in Oracle Essbase, you have to develop everything manually, unlike in EPM where modules are already developed.
I have been using Oracle Essbase for the last thirteen years and I am into this space for thirty years. I am working on the sales-based platform where I work with different clients for GE, Thomson Reuters, Sun Life, and TD Bank. All these organizations are multinational organizations where we help them enable to take their financial decisions by hosting a tool that plays a key role in planning, budgeting, forecasting, and statutory reporting for submitting documents. I work for different clients across the globe, including clients from Australia, the US, the UK, and the Middle East. There are a few organizations in the Middle East as well as in the Western countries such as the US and Canada. I am working as a consultant on a customer implementation team, so I am part of an organization that utilizes Oracle Essbase.

We provide complete ownership of this application to Walmart projects. In the UK system, we support and develop for the Asda account, known as Eltham. We provide installation and support to over 50+ technical business users for over 650+ stores through incident and change requests. We have around 2 million DSO skills, involving all types of analytic processing data.
I'm used to integrating BitLocker with AI. With new solutions, integration for analyzing quick commerce adapters should provide businesses with customer analysis.
From day one, I was allocated to a project where this technology, Essbase and Hyperion Planning, is used. This is an enterprise performance management tool. You can do analysis and forecasting with it, like current budget and long-range forecasts. You can do all those things with this database and the front end.
Oracle Essbase is mainly used for its functionality. Your system stores your day-to-day variances. You analyze them, such as your daily, monthly, quarterly, or yearly earnings. Usually, you generate P&L statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports. You can also achieve predicting and forecasting reports with historical and current data. For example, based on your performance for the last five to ten years, you can predict which product sales were high. Based on that, you can do budgeting for those products or geographical locations. It is entirely used for financial data.
We are a telecommunications company operating in Iran, and we manage a vast amount of data related to our network infrastructure. We have hundreds of data points specifically pertaining to our network resources, and the processing demands for this data can be quite intensive. This data includes metrics such as JPI and is closely tied to the payload traffic on our network. We also handle extensive datasets related to marketing, charging, and various other aspects of our operations. These datasets are substantial in size, contributing to the overall enormity of ours. We use separate databases for product management and phone management, each housing specific data related to those functions.
