Hello dear reader.
My name is Yuri Kudryavcev and I write this blog for piling up practical advices on IBM Cognos/Oracle products implementation (been at it since 2003) and CPM&OLAP notes. I’ve been here and there and almost lost count of completed projects (more than fingers, hence the problem).
I really like the technical part of all this CUBing stuff and wrote a PhD on using Map-Reduce for OLAP cubes at some point. And I can talk about it anytime, day or night, so now they make me review papers for computer science conferences on all these lattices, graphs and mathematical scribblings. And I like it.
