Oracle Hyperion Essbase users now have easy access to Dodeca and Essbase running in the cloud for evaluation, testing, development, without IT red tape.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) August 4, 2009  --  Many users of Oracle Corporation's Hyperion Essbase software are under-utilizing the OLAP tool's powerful analytical, reporting and planning capabilities. This is primarily due to a lack of an easy to use application development environment optimized for the powerful OLAP database technology. According to Tim Tow, President and Founder of Applied OLAP, "An OLAP database is much more than 'just another data source', as many business intelligence software vendors like to claim. As such, most reporting and dashboard tools are oriented towards conventional relational database sources and fall short when it comes to tapping into the full potential of an OLAP database such as Oracle Essbase."

As with many high growth software companies, Applied OLAP needed a way to make the process of demonstrating, testing, and evaluating their software easier for the company's customers, prospects and partners. According to Tow, "EPMCloud.com has helped us remove a big roadblock when it comes to educating prospective clients on the power and value of our product. We used to have frequent instances where a user wanted to install and test Dodeca on a trial basis, but could not get the support to provision the server resources and install the software necessary to properly evaluate our product." Thanks to the use of EPMCloud.com's Cloud Sandbox solution, Applied OLAP's prospects and partners can now provision their own virtual demo, test, or development environment with the click of a button.

"We are pleased to welcome Applied OLAP as an EPMCloud.com partner." says Mike Dayton, president and co-founder of HyNote. "Tim and his team at Applied OLAP are well respected leaders and innovators within the global Essbase user community. The Dodeca platform fits nicely within our vision of lowering the cost and complexity barriers associated with developing and deploying EPM and business intelligence solutions, especially within the mid-market. We look forward to helping them expand their market reach and simplify access to their Dodeca platform for customers and partners alike." EPMCloud.com welcomes members of its global solution provider community to develop and market industry and function-specific Solution Accelerators based on the Dodeca and Essbase platform.
