When I first saw Stratature one of the things that caught my eye was its strong hierarchy management capabilities. This was very exiting while, in my time as a BI consultant I have encountered a lot people who were spending a significant amount of their time managing hierarchies in spreadsheets. Not only is it a time consuming task to maintain these, but also often error-prone while inconsistencies build up when more than one person access and maintain them. +EDM offers a fully featured approach to maintain ragged as well as fixed hierarchies, and with that yet another reason (and by all means let’s get more reasons) to use excel as a data source is deprecated.
