Bill Hamilton

founded Analysis Team in 1995, with a focus on bringing a real-world business management perspective to an area traditionally lacking this. He has guided the evolution of the organization from its initial focus on Essbase, the landmark On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) tool, to a much broader scope covering numerous analysis, reporting and planning applications and Business Intelligence strategy. Given Dave’s beliefs in client self-sufficiency and in making technology easy to apply for the everyday user, he has also conducted innumerable end-user training classes and coached dozens of in-house developers.

A sought-after speaker on Business Intelligence, Dave presents to various audiences, such as software user conferences, professional groups, and attendees of Business Intelligence seminars. In 2005, he appeared as expert witness for plaintiffs in the 2005 WorldCom Securities Litigation trial, providing testimony on WorldCom’s corporate financial reporting system and its role in detecting accounting fraud during the 2001 audit by Arthur Andersen.

Before transitioning to outside consulting, Dave had substantial financial management experience in technology firms ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Immediately prior to starting Analysis Team, Dave was Chief Financial Officer of an early-stage Silicon Valley developer of navigation technology, where he built formal financial management processes and helped drive the commercialization of the firm’s patented technology. Before that, he was Financial Planning & Analysis Manager at Wyse Technology, a manufacturer of computer systems and terminals. This followed Dave’s strong career foundation in accounting and financial analysis roles at technology giants IBM (Rolm Division) and Digital Equipment Corporation.

Dave holds a Bachelor’s Degree in finance and international business from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

At Analysis Team, Rockey manages the sales and engagement process to ensure clients’ objectives are met with the most suitable solutions. His role includes developing strong working relationships with Analysis Team’s partners, heavily focused on Oracle, to leverage these partnerships for the benefit of our clients.

He has substantial expertise in database design, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) techniques, and several OLAP platforms. His technical skills have been instrumental in quickly and comprehensively standardizing automation techniques for our clients and expanding the firm’s suite of technologies.

Prior to joining Analysis Team, Steven led a dynamic IT development group within The Walt Disney Company, where he delivered strategic technology solutions that improved efficiency and reduced cost. He spearheaded a virtual close project that cut in half the effort needed to close the books each month, and managed the design and development of a tracking system for product development milestones. Before that, he held key business and technical positions for Health Net and Rain Bird International. In the public sector, Steven had executive leadership roles in several nonprofit corporations.

Doug has managed many complex development and optimization projects, and he is also a certified trainer of 123OLAP’s Applied Essbase developer “boot camp” class.

Doug’s experience includes data warehouse and OLAP application design and development, process improvement and data quality control. Prior to joining Analysis Team, Doug led major Business Intelligence projects for the Home Entertainment Division of NBC Universal Studios, including the creation of a robust sales forecasting engine. Before that, Doug was a Certified Principal Consultant at Hyperion Solutions specializing in Essbase implementations, working with clients such as The Walt Disney Company, Nestlé USA, Toyota and Charles Schwab. This followed five years of in-house experience as Project Manager at Disney, where he developed practices for OLAP technology deployment and data governance.
