Hierachy (why is it a gamechanger)
- Hierarchies will change the game of Analysis with Planning Analytics
- You can use Product or Customer Attributes in your slice/dice/pivot tools as ‘Virtual Dimensions’ without having to physically define them as a dimension when creating the cube
- You can add Hierarchies at any time after the cube exists, so your analysis opportunities are endless
- Cubes can now be half the size and twice as fast because you don’t need physical dimensions to drive analysis
- Even multiple Hierarchies for the same Dimension in the same query
- And further, you can add fresh new data to your analysis ‘On the Fly’ with no disruption to Cube Structure, Business Rules, or Processes
- Tremendous flexibility to react quickly to market change
