I have been selected to speak at the OVOAUG on February 16, 2018.  I have been there before, and it is a very nice group of people to engage with.  If you are in the area, or would like to hear more about how Groovy in PBCS can change the landscape of performance, user interaction, improvement of data input, and reduced user frustration, please go to http://ohio.communities.oaug.org/ and register.  I would love to see as many of you there as possible.

Here is the agenda.  It is going to be a functional overview, but we will touch on how to start writing Groovy, and if you show up, I will be more than happy to talk before and/or after the session.

 

I have been using PBCS for over a year now.  As much as it surprises me, I am a fan.  From my experience, I have seen good performance, above average stability, above average accessibility, and I enjoy the cutting edge functionality that is lacking with on-premise implementations.  I created some info-graphics for presentations and thought I would share with the community.  As always, if you would like to contract me for design work, I am always excited to take on interesting and challenging work.  If you would like to donate, click the link to the right.

Please remember that I put a lot of work into these works, so please do not alter or use without consent.

 

 

 

 

For those of you that know me, I have a little graphic designer in me.  I frequently develop things that may be useful to others in the industry and like to share.  Below are 2 images that you may use with the understanding that the logo has to remain and can’t be re-branded.  If you would like to have this customized and your logo added, contact me and we can discuss the options.

PBCS Architecture

I was asked to summarize the PBCS Architecture.  Since this isn’t proprietary, here you go.

Pizza As A Service

I won’t take credit for this concept.  You can find this all over the internet.  I was a little bored and wanted to present the concept to a client so I decided to recreate it a little more professionally.  This compares software as a service (SASS) to pizza.  Hope you can benefit from it and maybe get a few laughs.

Pizza As A Service

 

I attended many Hyperion Solutions conferences back in the day.  I really enjoyed the experience, but after the first couple of years, I didn’t feel like I was getting my money’s worth.  I started to wonder if I knew all there was to know about Essbase, as every presentation I attended seemed very basic.  Was I that good?  Did the benefit of attending these conferences shift from knowledge gain to networking? I decided to stop attending.  Read more
