Sandbox and Scenario Workflow in Essbase for 1000's of users

In Essbase, one can always create a new dimension and clone the data and give to different users. This bloats the cube and doesnt scale to large number of users.  One needs to introduce strict limits on number of members in that sandbox/version/scenarion dimension. Also, since it is a metadata, business users cannot create new sandbox members.

We introduced new sandboxing and scenario management capabilities in Essbase in cloud. This is light weight and highly scalable and provides necessary isolation like Excel on your laptop for users. Moreover, end users can create new scenarios without involving admin.

Please watch the video for more details:
