The founder
of 123OLAP, Rudy Zucca, was past president of FP&A Train, the
company that developed the Essbase
Analytics Bootcamp class that Hyperion purchased and Oracle now delivers.
After the acquisition of FP&A Train by Hyperion, Rudy's passion
for Essbase led him back into the consulting field where
he worked with users from both Finance and IT, each with very different
implementation perspectives. He began to develop an Essbase manual
for this mix of users that shed light on the finance processes and
on the IT requirements. Rudy originally had plans to market this book
as the first comprehensive Guide and Reference for Essbase, which
would be sold alongside the usual offerings of Excel bibles and Oracle
for Experts type of books. However, seeing a need in the marketplace
for a fast-paced, implementation-focused training alternative, he
decided to take the book one step further, and develop a full training
curriculum.
As a result of this effort, the Applied Essbase
curriculum was completed and 123OLAP was formed. Our Applied Planning
and Applied HFM curricula soon followed, and 123OLAP is now recognized
as experts and leaders in the Hyperion training field.
123OLAP recognizes that most companies do not have the time or budget
to allocate an average of eight to tens days of
training for students needing the skills to develop, deploy, and
administer an application. We have taken the essential topics that
all developers need and deliver it in a five-day format. The training
manual is more than a screen shot and bullet points, it covers the
subject matter in depth and is one of the best reference manuals
available.
123OLAP recognizes that most companies want the best possible training
delivered in the shortest possible number of days and money. While
most features are referenced in the class, and all features are
referenced in the comprehensive manual, we teach the features that
are used in implementations. We teach not only HOW to do things,
but WHY you should or should not do them a certain way.
We focus on the concepts behind the mechanics, and provide a means
of referencing those mechanics with the comprehensive manual once
the class is over. Our manuals are recognized as some of the best
reference manuals available in the marketplace.
123OLAP offers the only classes designed, developed, and delivered
by Professional Trainers who are also Certified
Consultants. The courses are designed to be practical and applied;
we share real-world solutions we have implemented. Besides being
used in class, the training manuals have been developed for later
use as comprehensive reference manuals. Practical exercises, and
a training application you can keep, will make the concepts presented
in class stick with you.
To deliver rewarding, effective and practical learning experience
from a real-world implementation perspective. To empower clients
with the skills necessary to fully leverage their investment in
the technology.
