The Origin

It started at Compaq, before HP acquired them, when a manager handed Prince access to Essbase 6.0 with no instructions and three words: figure it out. He did. And he never stopped.

That moment set the template for everything that followed. Not a prescribed methodology, not a requirements document handed down from a steering committee, just a genuine instinct to go directly to the people who would actually use the finished system, understand what was making their work harder than it needed to be, and build something that solved the real problem instead of the stated one.

The Difference

The approach that changes everything

Why CloudADDIE wins where others stall

Most consultants gather requirements from the top: the CFO, the VP, the project sponsor. Prince goes to the field first. He sits with the analysts, the controllers, the planners, the people who will live in the system every day. Get the foundation right at that level, and everything built on top of it works. Skip that step, and no amount of technical sophistication will save you from low adoption, workarounds, and a finance team that quietly goes back to Excel.

That philosophy, not any certification or client logo, is what separates the outcomes Prince delivers from what most engagements produce. It explains why batch jobs that ran for hours get rebuilt to finish in under 30 minutes, why a planning environment that needed 8 applications gets consolidated to one, and why reports that consumed a workday get redesigned to run in seconds. The technical work is real, but the insight that makes it possible always comes from the floor, not the boardroom.

Proof, Not Promises

Oil & Gas Turnaround

A consulting firm of four specialists, two data scientists, a technical lead, and a project manager, was given three months to deliver a business intelligence dashboard to the CFO using TIBCO Spotfire. After two months, they had produced screenshots. Not a working application. Screenshots.

Prince told the client it was not working and asked for the chance to fix it. He went to the end users, understood exactly what they needed the dashboard to do, learned Spotfire, and delivered the working application in two months with one other person.

Off The Clock

Outside of work, Prince has strong opinions about how Game of Thrones should have ended, a relationship with Seinfeld reruns that his family has fully accepted as permanent, and a standing argument about Batman versus Superman that has outlasted Essbase 6.0, three major Oracle acquisitions, and the entire cloud migration era. Which tracks perfectly for someone who has never once waited for instructions before figuring something out.

Built on what someone upstairs wanted, rather than what your team actually needs?

That is exactly the problem CloudADDIE was built to fix. CloudADDIE exists because Prince got tired of watching finance teams receive technically correct solutions built on the wrong foundation. The best EPM implementation is not the most sophisticated one. It is the one built on what the people using it actually need.
