A lot happened in 2017 in the IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) world. Here is a quick recap from Cubewise CODE.

Pulse take up continues to grow beyond 150 customers globally allowing our customers to watch over a combined total of well over 50 million lines of TM1 code. Accordingly, the number of “large enterprise” TM1 implementations has increased necessitating support for MS SQL Server. The latest version,  Pulse v5.6,  incorporates a centralized database architecture which brings downstream benefits such as forensic TM1 server and user reporting via Big Data provider, Elasticsearch. This version is a big step forward for Pulse in the cloud.

Canvas v2 was a major milestone in the maturity, scalability and stability of the product. This new version introduced lots of new features such as:

• Email Bursting and Scheduler
• Hierarchy support in DBR formulas
• Upload Excel files into TM1, to support planning submission with far greater integrity, workflow and audit.

TM1py is a free Python package that wraps the TM1 REST API in a simple to use library. Making it easier to integrate systems more effectively with IBM Planning Analytics.

Bedrock, TM1Kill, Hustle and many more other free products will save you lots of time as a TM1 developer:

In 2017, we hosted more than 500 paying delegates at our IBM Planning Analytics conferences in Sydney, London, NYC and Los Angeles. To learn more about our products, training is now available from the Cubewise EDU page.

2017 was a great year for the TM1 community and Cubewise Code. We are looking forward to 2018 and making IBM Planning Analytics even better!
