Essbase SIG

The aquisition of Hyperion by Oracle in March 2008 has added another dimension to the enterprise performance management portfolio of Oracle professionals, including new customers to the Oracle user community. The IOUG would like to welcome the Essbase family of customers, consultants, vendors and support professionals to its global user community. The new Essbase SIG will provide a resource for sharing information and best practices, learning more about the full spectrum of Oracle business intelligence technologies, and networking opportunities.
