Lingo Computer Design Inc., a leading provider of Business Intelligence Warehouse Solutions today announced the availability of their FISCAL Business Intelligence Warehouse on Hyperion Essbase.

Organizations can use Lingo's FISCAL Business Intelligence Warehouse with Essbase's OLAP engine to leverage their investment in their ERP.

Essbase users can now roll out real-time budgeting and planning using the FISCAL Budget module to complete the cycle from reporting through to planning and forecasting.

The architecture includes modules for automatic building and loading of data warehouses-data marts, automatic management of metadata and transformation of ERP hierarchies into Essbase OLAP engine hierarchies, ensuring rapid, cost-efficient deployment and low maintenance costs.
