Everyone is getting BI & OLAP

Interesting post from Mark Rittman on the Collaborate 08 and the intersection of the Oracle OLAP world and the Hyperion OLAP world.

What interested me was the comment that:

The room was packed – around 170 at last count, with people standing at the sides and sitting in the aisle – which is about 160 more than the average Oracle OLAP talk in previous years

There is also a lot more in the post that gives an insight to the approaches both vendors have under the hood
