I hope everyone enjoys their day off! Adobe gave me some great free stock art for the 4th…so I had to use it! The History Channel has a nice page dedicated to the History of Independence Day. </shortest blog post ever>
Introduction to Weekly Offenders I had a lot of luck doing a weekly update about the blogging community in the Oracle EPM space. You may have all noticed that I had a lot less luck doing a monthly update. I found that everyone posts too much content to keep up with doing an update just…

Kscope17 is officially over. I was fortunate to attend several sessions this year along with presenting a few times myself. It’s always great to get together with the ODTUG community and all of my friends that I only get to see a few times a year. Kscope is a great event and I’m happy to…

It’s that time again…the EPM Month in Review. February was just as active as January with another 44 contributions from our great community. Adashek EPM Gary tells us about a new feature in Smart View 11.1.2.5.620. He also has an in-depth look at the Query Designer in Smart View. Cameron’s Blog for Essbase Hackers Cameron has the…
