Resolving EPM and BI support issues faster

Introduction

Is this what your brain feels like when you’re dealing with difficult EPM and BI issues?

 

I think I’m the compressed spring, but pick your own poison.  Check out the original right here.

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could resolve them faster than you do today?  Well, it would, right?  Unless you like pain.  In which case it’s time to go look at something else that sort of defines ouchie-owie.

 

Alas, pain killers don’t fix Essbase

Oracle Support is here to help make that pain go away.  How?  With a webcast for both the Americas and a separate one for EMEA/APAC (hey, if you live in Oregon and want to wake up at 2 am, no one will stop you except your good sense).

 

 

When is it?

Americas:  November 22, 2011 at 9 am PT, 10 am MT, 12 pm ET, 5:00 pm GMT

EMEA/APAC:  November 22, 2011 at 10:00 GMT, 5 am ET, 3 am MT, 2 am PT

 

Just in case there’s any doubt about this:

Americas:  How to resolve your EPM and BI technical issues faster - US [ID 1372777.1]

EMEA/APAC:  How to resolve your EPM and BI technical issues faster [ID 1371449.1]

 

As always, yes, you have to either be a customer with a support contract (Why else would you watch a webcast on how to work more effectively with Support?) or a paid up partner.

 

What’s on the menu?

I am going to crib the below straight from the Americas Support note.
