5 Agenda  Challenges —Business needs —IT challenges  Existing environment  Solutions —Partitioning —Drill through & master data management —Analytic Integration Server —STAR Integration Server  Conclusion  Questions

6 Business Needs  Project reporting and planning needed  Drill through capabilities at all hierarchical levels  Archive historical forecasts

7 IT Challenges  Manage growth while minimizing load and calc times —Main reports database used for planning and reporting —Already over 12 GB in size (10 dimensions) —Expand to 11 dimensions for project reporting  Long restructure times during close and forecast cycles —1-2 hours for dense restructure  Integrate Planning and Analytic Integration Server  Manage shared dimensions across multiple cubes

9 Partitioning  Smaller purpose built cubes —Separate planning and analysis activities  Faster calc and restructure times  Archive historical data w/ out degrading performance  Transparent partition brings data together

10 Partitioned Cubes  Planwip —Current forecast only —Hyperion Planning app —Read/Write  Actual —Current year actuals only —Conversion & consolidation calcs  Planfin —Finalized forecasts —Historical actuals —No calcs  Analysis —Essbase users connect here —Transparent partition brings data together

12 Drill Through and Master Data Management  Provide drill through capabilities at all hierarchical levels  Keep partitioned outlines in sync  Push Essbase hierarchies to data warehouse  Move outline control from Planning to AIS

14 STAR Integration Server (SIS)  Extracts outline and loads to relational store  AIS ready star schema format  Parent/Child dimension tables  Generates columns for member properties  Star schema accessible to other data warehouse reporting tools

15 Analytic Integration Server (AIS)  Model built from SIS generated tables  Recursive parent/child hierarchy allows for drill through at any level  Metaoutline uses columns of SIS tables to define member properties
