As Everyone Knows, But Hardly Anyone Actually Does<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One of my fondest recollections of Kscope (umm, one year or another, they all blend together after a while) is sitting in on Kumar\u2019s introduction of Exalytics (remember that Wave Of The Future?).  As Kumar dived deeper and deeper into the hardware behind Essbase-on-Exalytics, he prefaced each increasingly (exponentially?) complex computer engineering concept and detail with, \u201cAs everyone knows\u2026\u201d.  If only.  I sure didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key to Kumar\u2019s personality is this liberality of intellectual comradeship:  he thinks that surely whatever a given  insanely complex topic might be is easily understood by the average geek.   This (possibly insanely optimistic) generosity of intellectual spirit informs this podcast as Kumar takes us (and you, Gentle Listener) through his journey from theoretician to developer to advocate to Vice President of Engineering  while working at Informix, Oracle, and now Workday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cubes, Cubes, Cubes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the interesting personal history (and you have to catch Kumar\u2019s glory days in the NCAA and yes, really; we in the performance management space are polymaths), he gives one of the most passionate, cogent, and comprehensive arguments of the cube as the ideal for planning and budgeting.\u00a0 I\u2019ve worked with non-cube forecasting tools and while they certainly have their uses, calculations that are trivial in a cube can be hard graft otherwise.\u00a0 Listen to Kumar and be convinced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear the conversation<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We hope you like the episode as much as we do. If you do<\/em> enjoy it, please give us a good rating on the provider of your choice as it both bathes our ever-needy egos and also \u2013 and rather more importantly \u2013 allows listeners just like you to more easily find EPM Conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us, won’t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\t\r\n\t
