Oracle ACE


September is a wonderful month!!!!!

A dream come true month. I was nominated and selected as an Oracle ACE member!!!!!!

Oracle ACE profile

I’m nervous to join the ACE club where giants like John Goodwin, Cameron Lackpour, Glenn Schwartzberg, Edward Roske, and many others…..(I sincerely state that there is no order to the naming sequence :)) are members.

I know lot many people in Hyperion World like Tim German, Alp Burak, Jake Turell, Mike Nader to name a few who are more knowledgeable than me, I consider myself lucky.

It took lot of courage to start a technical blog 4 years back. (It was more of my scrapbook where I kept logging the issues I faced, so that I don’t forget ;))

I would like to thank my wife for all her support. I hope after reading this she’ll reduce the fees that I’m paying her. Every blog that I write I’m supposed to give her $100 (which I usually don’t).

She even went to the extend of naming herself as Essbase and my daughter as Planning. I think soon she’ll name my son Reporting.

So thank you for being there my second wife (that’s another one from her, Hyperion is my first)

As a cherry on the icing the first one to wish me from the Hyperion World was none other than Cameron Lackpour. He took me by surprise when he sent me a mail congratulating me an hour after Oracle published (confirmed) my profile. He was kind enough not to spill the beans.

I would like to thank you all, who showed the patience in listening to me, reading (even though many of those were some blabbering) my blogs.

I keep remembering Stan Lee’s (or Uncle Ben’s) words 🙂
