My client is looking for someone with 15+ years experience
with multivalue/multidimensional databases.  Even if you are
not this person I would still love to talk to you about this
technology as I am new to this space and NEED ALL THE HELP I
CAN GET!  I know there must be some experts out there that can
help me better understand this market and how you have
weathered the storm to get where you are today. Look forward
to your responses- even if only to hassle me for attempting to
carve out a spot in your niche. Thanks!

Consider yourself hassled.

Your query is much too broad for anyone to tackle it.  Ask some
specific questions, answerable in a couple of paragraphs, and
you'll likely find this group very helpful.

You're not likely to coax me out of retirement when you don't
even tell me in which hemisphere I'd be working!

Fair enough. Through some basic research I have gathered that
dimensional databases are used to extract data more quickly thus
providing the end user with a more efficient way to forecast, budget,
show trends and any of several other BI functions. What I don't
know...well what I don't know is a lot, but what I would like to know
is how, if this technology has been in existence for decades now, has
it evolved over time and stayed relevant to current applications?
With Oracle, SAP and IBM hoovering the market on this stuff how are
smaller companies still competing- what makes them different? How did
the people that I need with 15+ years experience get there start in
multidimensional databases when relational databases have been so
commanding of the market?

As for more detail on the position... I was really just looking to
open up a dialogue here rather than posting a generic list of
requirements on the board so frosty can tell me to "ingest human
excrement and expire" like the last recruiter that did such a shameful
thing. But in the spirit of the hunt here you go:

Multivalue Architecture Sales Engineer
The role is client-facing, fast-paced, is wide-ranging and challenging
and requires a mixture of application development and deployment
skills, hands-on coding and problem solving, presentation skills,
sales awareness, business acumen, evangelism, mentoring and training.
You should have long and varied experience in business application
development on all tiers – user interface, business logic and
persistence. You will have worn many hats - serving as senior
application developer, team or project leader and will have dealt
directly with your customers. Experience as a member of
benchmarking / performance analysis team, as a member of an
application deployment team and/or as customer support advisor is
valuable.
You should strive for excellence in everything you do, operate with a
sense of urgency yet be very practical. You should have a history of
learning new technologies to bring innovative approaches to business
application problems.
Job Qualifications:
• Personal presence and industry expertise to establish
yourself as a trusted advisor to senior multilevel architects and
delivery managers.
• Outstanding interpersonal, communication and presentations
skills.
• Proven business analysis and problem solving skills
• Demonstrated expertise in logical and physical database
design, installation, configuration and performance tuning. Examples
of products include Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, Sybase,
Informix.
• Demonstrated expertise in object-oriented application
development using, for example, C++, Java, .NET
• Demonstrated experience in most of the following: HTML,
JavaScript, XML, XSLT, XPath, XSD, SAX, JSP/Servlets, ASP, SOAP, Web
Services
• Demonstrated expertise in SQL and ODBC / JDBC.
• Practical exposure to Windows, Unix/Linux, MAC OS X
• Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) experience using
BEA Software, IBM, SeeBeyond, Microsoft or similar is a definite
advantage.

The position is located in the North East US and commands roughly 25%
travel. Compensation package is very competitive. I will happily
provide additional details via email to anyone that requests them.

I will reiterate the fact that any help on this would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks!
