Cubegeek: Essbase going away?

 Some interesting speculation around the roadmap for Oracle/Hyperion merger:

That's going to take years, and lots of extentions to OWB, but systems like Star Analytics' SIS could facilitate all that. Now that Oracle owns Essbase, we'll find out price/performance wise if that's a good direction to head, but I'm convinced that the two companies are going with the market leading technologies as a guide. I don't know if Express is behind Oracle BI EE, but Kurian was talking about Essbase as a source on the same level as Hyperion IR and Oracle BI EE. Meaning that pure Essbase apps may be just considered point BI solutions which don't play a major role in the EPMS world going forward.
