# Ask the Expert

## **Welcome to Finit’s “Ask the Expert” Series**

Join Finit’s experts for informative, 30-minute conversations about topics at the intersection of finance and technology that impact you every day. During each conversation, Finit’s experts will introduce a specific CPM-related topic, offer hands-on insights from their experience, and will answer your questions. 

Let’s talk!

## **Ask the Expert, Session 1: "Should we consider Extensible Dimensionality?"**

**Date: April 9, 2020**

**Time: 12:30 -1:00pm EDT**

We often see the question, “Should we use Extensible Dimensions,” asked early in the design and requirements phase of a project. Sometimes a client wants to use it just because it’s a key differentiating feature of OneStream over HFM or other consolidation system solutions. However, in a good design, there is a time and place for the use of Extensible Dimensionality.

Join Finit’s Jeff Kantor as he shares his insights on vertical versus horizontal extensibility, and his thoughts on which kind and why one might make more sense than another.

This session includes time for questions. So bring your questions about Extensible Dimensionality and get ready to ask the expert!
