About Eric Helmer

Oracle ACE Eric Helmer is one of the Nation’s consulting leaders in Oracle-Hyperion Business Intelligence Infrastructure.  He is a recognized expert in the area of world class Hyperion Windows and Unix implementations and a champion for the free exchange of information on best IT practices around Oracle solutions.  He is well known in conference attendance circles (Solutions, Collaborate, Kaleidoscope, etc) as well as many Oracle users groups around the nation. He has participated in Hyperion beta code validation, a certified graduate of Oracle University (DBA), and a familiar face within corporate finance offices of the fortune 200 nationwide. He has been dedicated to Oracle solutions for over 7 years, specializing in SQL, Database Administration, Oracle RAC, Hyperion, Oracle Data Integrator, WebLogic, and Oracle Application Server.

Eric is the domain lead for the Oracle Applications User Group’s (OAUG) Hyperion Special Interest Group (SIG).

Currently, Mr. Helmer is a Director with Hackett Technology Solutions, formerly Answerthink.  Answerthink/Hackett has been the top Oracle-Hyperion reseller for the last 3 years.  Hackett is by far the leading national partner around world class infrastructure best practices, design, and implementations.
One of the most unique aspects of Eric’s work is his tireless dedication to IT best practices around Oracle solutions.  The current Oracle community is commonly focused on application design and data, however Eric brings a refreshing complimentary and cohesive message that proper IT design and architecture is just as equally important as application design.  Most notably, Eric is a clear authority in large mission-critical highly-available implementations utilizing fail-over, load balancing, clustering, and fault tolerance specifically for Oracle Solutions.  In many of these cases, he has reduced downtime on Hyperion and Oracle implementations to mere minutes, even in the worst case data-center or hardware disasters, worldwide.  He has trained world class IT support and helpdesk groups to be completely autonomous by offering a suite of knowledge transfer classes on Oracle design, installation, monitoring, automation, backup/recovery, high availability, and troubleshooting and has worked closely with Oracle development to identify defects, test code, and exchange knowledge on different approaches to uptime and performance tuning.
