In an effort to showcase our profound passion for IBM Planning Analytics/TM1, our Control CC team asked Cubewisers about their ‘lightbulb moment’ experiences.

Meet Ulas, the Director of the Supply Focus Solution Division at Cubewise. With a rich background in corporate performance management, he discovered TM1 12 years ago and has since experienced numerous lightbulb moments along his journey. One of his most significant realisations has been the limitless possibilities and dimensions TM1 offers. He proudly states, “TM1 has enormous potential.”

Pulse v6.5 has launched with innovative features to enhance your experience:

🚀 Live Migration of Cube Data
 Migrate data between TM1 instances in real-time without downtime! Easily transfer from TM1 v11 to v12 while keeping your service uninterrupted.

🔍 Monitor Windows Services
 Stay updated on the status of any Windows service, including Cognos BI and TM1 Web, with the improved Pulse Monitor. Just update your monitor.yml file and activate the new alert for seamless tracking.

✨ Revamped Pulse Explorer
 Enjoy a fresh look with the upgraded Pulse Explorer, now powered by OpenSearch. All your pre-built dashboards remain intact, plus you’ll gain access to new capabilities and plugins.
