Editor's Notes
- We’ve been around 18 years and care passionately about helping good companies become great, through our analytics solutions and service offerings. Our goal is to form longterm relationships with all of our customers and partner together on the continuing evolution towards strategic analytics We advise clients on analytics best practices and embed analytics into every day business processes. We’ve also been developing and implementing our own analytics products and solutions (mostly in conjunction with TM1) for over a dozen years. Please don’t just look to QueBIT for TM1 related services. Engage your QueBIT rep to review your strategic analytics roadmap and plans for 2019 and beyond. <Examples> Cash Flow, Operational data modeling, Predictive Demand
- New Version! As per the poll, a lot of customers on the call are still on TM1 so we’ll get things started with a walk through of the upgrade path and considerations on moving from TM1 to Planning Analytics and PAW Tell current PAW customers to take coffee break and return for the demo at :25 past the hour
- AGILE development cycle- PA Server releases every 4 months PAW and PAx updates every 4-6 weeks
- First 3 terms are the licensing options PA = TM1 PA Local and On Prem are synonomous
- Upgrade sooner so that you can start learning development, reporting and dashboarding in PA, PAW, and PAx Continuing to work with TM1, Perspectives, and Architect is like storing your data on Compact Discs
- Break after this slide for questions and Colin’s licensing review Colin: “As Brian mentioned, there will be changes in licensing if you decide to deploy Planning Analytics Workspace(PAW) to your end users and IBM is currently offering generous year end incentives that you may want to take advantage of. In addition, if your company is in the process of migrating applications to Cloud, you can reach out to your QueBIT rep to discuss the PA Cloud adoption program and the options for transitioning your current annual licensing structure over to the subscription based SaaS model for IBM’s PA Cloud offering. There will be a one time upcharge as this offering includes PAW for end users, followed by a recurring monthly fee based on you system and user needs”
- Fictitious consumer electronics company TM1Web- Facelift but mostly all the same buttons and menus Performance enhancements, iPad friendly, TM1 websheets can be embedded in PAW
- Free Form canvas for self service dashboarding Effective ‘Data Storytelling’ Linking various media types, weblinks, and style customization This will be the development interface in the future Like going from Windows 98 to Windows 10 Rules and TI editors iPad friendly
- Very similar to Perspectives and CAFÉ Integrated Excel interface- references live data repository from TM1 Optimized over WAN to improve performance for remote users Perspective Reports are compatible but do require testing Upgrade sooner rather than later Support for hierarchies using PAx Explorations which is somewhat similar to cube viewer (Perspectives does not support hierarchies)
- Upper right corner depicts that beyond the traditional Product Families rollup, it also makes sense to categorize products by Brand, Color, or Size Main data grid 8 boxes but only 7 dims Products dim is on Rows AND Columns Sparse but useful Hierarchies on rows tell us instantly that Samsung is outselling our other brands 2 to 1 Lower Right- user friendly attribute editor where values can be entered and updated which could then drive rollup updates via TI Process Also useful for maintaining historical hierarchy structures and ‘what-if’ reorganizations
- First 3 are for provisioning your on prem environment PAW utilizes Docker containerization technology which is native in Linux Docker CE vs EE, EE comes in a minimum bundle of 5 nodes CAM = Single Signon through your AD
- IBM and QueBIT have worked together on developing and testing this PA Trial offering Includes templates and blueprints
