If they really like to market the product they should give proper tutorials.I hope they will understand and give some good one in very near future.Jyotiranjanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680515940240591470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11909584.post-51472530706620907912012-08-22T08:49:54.913-07:002012-08-22T08:49:54.913-07:00Nice post, Siddharth.

This is a revolutionary SaaS based product launched in early 2012 that streamlines data mart development. LeapFrogBI deploys to SQL Server and provides a platform that enables developers to speed development while also enabling unhindered customization abilities in native tools. LeapFrogBI offers a much higher value prop as compared to competing products.Paul B.

Again if you go for cloud and use products like CloudOLAP which works in-premises / on cloud, WhereScape RED looks quite expensive.<br /><br />It would be great if you can share a case study that shows the economics of pricing in a project, where the client has outsourced development to countries like India and still your product can make the bill lighter.Siddharth Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870225483799389119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11909584.post-14790365126244011292010-08-23T20:50:30.389-07:002010-08-23T20:50:30.389-07:00Hi Jamie,

But this is provided you have sufficient IT Staff guided by some experts like yourself, and in real world as you know, there are all kind of projects where people want to get reports out of DW in hours. This can't be done without tools like WhereScape.Siddharth Mehtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870225483799389119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11909584.post-34002047731966358222010-08-23T15:49:54.599-07:002010-08-23T15:49:54.599-07:00Hi Siddhart, Thanks for the kind words on WhereSca...Hi Siddhart, Thanks for the kind words on WhereScape RED.<br />As you point out we are very focused on helping people deliver data warehouses quicker, and making them easier to change. On the pricing...not sure we have ever been described as costly before! Justification for WhereScape is on cost savings, and it is a very straight forward calculation of software v labor costs. And customers generally find we are a lot cheaper than traditional ETL tools! Add in the fact that training costs are reduced since we use the native database, produce native database objects (tables, stored procedures, scripts, indexes etc etc) and the economics become pretty compelling.Michael Whitehead, CEO, WhereScapehttp://www.wherescape.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11909584.post-57582290022904249502010-08-23T14:23:40.038-07:002010-08-23T14:23:40.038-07:00Hi Siddharth,

When he stood up and said "we can build a data warehouse in X hours" or whatever he said I was immediately on teh defensive - marketing statements like that always get my goat because they show no appreciation of the work involved in building a data warehouse.<br /><br />In most DW implementations I've been involved in the majority of the work involves requirements gathering, data quality validation/communication/fixing, checking and re-checking with users, bug fixing, documentation, chasing IT resources etc... <br /><br />In fact, I find that in actuality the amount of time spent writing code represents a very small percentage of total time - so any product that claims they can take your development time from months to weeks is pure bunkum. Just my opinion.<br /><br />-Jamiejamiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205835704950108652noreply@blogger.com
