Escendo Corp. to announce release of OFA and OSA convertion utility

Tune in next Tuesday for the official announcement of the release of the Escendo Architect Express/OFA/OSA conversion utility.

More details to follow but to summarize:

As a preview, we will provide tools to migrate existing OFA structures to Oracle OLAP 10g or 11g using Escendo Architect. Using the Conversion Utility will allow you to convert OFA structures directly or to modify them prior to creation to allow for changes in the default structures in OLAP compared to Express.

You will also be able to add OLAP 10g and 11g features such as partitioned measures, multiwrite access for data entry, and new structures such as compressed composites. We also offer reusable partition templates in Escendo Architect so users do not need to create new partition templates for each measure or cube built.

In addition Escendo Architect allows automatic creation of of relational views into the workspace including the ability to represent value based hierarchies as ragged level based hierarchies.

Welcome to the Escendo Architect OLAP blog

Welcome to Escendo Blog.

With this we will discuss Oracle OLAP and its features plus how to maximize the results from OLAP.

We will focus heavily on Escendo Architect and Analyzer and discuss how to easily migrate from previous Oracle Express products such as Oracle Financial Analyzer and Oracle Sales Analyzer and discuss methodology for converting from non-Oracle products such as Cognos, TM1, and other OLAP tools.

In addition we will discuss various methods for reporting using Escendo applications as well as third party applications accessing OLAP workspaces developed using Escendo Architect.
