The program will start at 9 a.m. and run through 1 p.m. at the Microsoft Conference Facility in Austin. The seminar will present OLAP solutions in the context of a show. The design and functionality must be such that the end user wants to go back and use it again and again, the same way you would want to see a good show more than once.
Admission is free for the four-hour seminar.
OLAP and a Show is just the first in a series of six such seminars which Daman will host around the country throughout 2001. Daman is also hosting three one-day conferences in 2001. Called BI Vision, the conferences will feature BI luminary Claudia Imhoff as a keynote speaker. One key indicator to the rise in OLAP solutions is the number of major players that have entered the fray. Both Microsoft and IBM have joined companies such as Hyperion in offering OLAP software.
