Essbase / Planning Design & Performance Tuning

Performance tuning is very important. Not only after an application has been in service, but more importantly from the beginning of the Essbase and Planning design and during implementation. How an application works from the technical perspective doesn’t usually matter much to end users in the field, but a properly tuned application can improve the user experience for all stakeholders, and Finit keeps an eye toward performance throughout the entire engagement. We accomplish this by providing clients with the benefit of our consultant expertise, experience and best practices.

We assist clients in designing Essbase / Planning application, requirements gathering, and project plan creation. We also provide recommendations on improving implementation build processes, standardizing procedures, and increasing the efficiency & effectiveness of the application.

Beyond these tasks, we also perform services that focus on existing Essbase & Planning installations. Application review, calculations process review, optimization of data flow processes, database updates and database aggregation processes are all various areas that can be fine tuned with the goal of improving performance. The most typical issues that we have encountered revolve around long calculation time, major database size increases, slow database restructure, and slow reporting retrieval performance. We customize our solutions to increase efficiency and improve overall database process performance, making sure that the performance is meeting requirements and on-time delivery.
