“This training has exceeded my expectation, I knew nothing at all about tm1py and by the end of 4 sessions. I was able to download TM1py, connect to TM1, load data, run a TI process, and add a new element plus the attribute using TM1py script!
So happy that I registered for this course. Marius Wirtz is really the best TM1py trainer, he always makes sure that all the participants have time to ask questions, and if we are stuck or get an error, he will help us to tackle it during the training session.
I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn TM1py from the beginning to join this course!

Thanks again to the Cubewise training team for organising this.”

We are excited to release the Pulse Fundamentals Post Training Insight, Making Sense of Past Events.
As your financial system gets larger and more complex, you’re exposed to a wide range of users and will inevitably bump up against performance challenges that come along with the increased scope.
No matter how much effort you put into creating highly efficient and optimized workflows and processes, you’re never going to escape user complaints such as:
– “The application isn’t performing as it should…”
– “The process is much slower than it used to be…”
– “Something is going wrong with the way the application runs…”
Unfortunately, as the developer, you might not always have control over how to fix these problems.
Pulse offers some powerful functionality when it comes to understanding issues in the past.
Reach out to edu@cubewise.com if you have any questions.

2021 has been a hard year for business. But the plethora of financial and operational challenges companies faced this year also provided plenty of opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow

It’s safe to say that we’ve never before seen the scale of widespread cash injections that we saw during the COVID-19 pandemic. Governments across the world scrambled to print the money they needed to keep the economy afloat and provide the support that their citizens needed. The natural consequence of this has been rapid inflationary pressures (Blog).
One of the most important knock-on effects of increasing inflation is the natural response that we have seen in interest rates. In an attempt to control monetary supply, we’ve emerged from a decade-long period of low interest rates – and into one where they seem to keep rising and rising.
As a company, it’s important to assess how these interest rate changes will affect your business and the best way to do this is by utilizing your FP&A tools to their full potential.
Have you ever wondered what happened in your applications in the last few minutes? Or even over the last few days? Perhaps you want to know who was logged in this morning or how much memory was used last night. All of these questions can help you get a better understanding of how your IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) system is being utilized.
And all of the answers can be found with Pulse.
Pulse tracks everything that is happening across all your IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) applications (on-premise or on PA SaaS) and it stores this information in a powerful database that is built to handle large amounts of data.
Let’s have a look and see how this can help you.
