Models
|
With
PowerOLAP, users create sophisticated
business models for the purpose
of analyzing and reporting on data
with remarkable speed, flexibility
and performance.
These
models, or multidimensional Cubes,
are based on the multiple Dimensions
that define an organization, including,
for example, Products, Regions,
Time-Periods, Accounts, Measures
of sales, Customers, Versions (e.g.,
Budget, Actual, Forecast).
PowerOLAP
enables users to manipulate the
model intuitively and efficiently,
so that building or altering a model
can be accomplished in a matter
of minutes. Then, with drag-and-drop,
double-click speed, users can create
virtually any cross-dimensional
view, or Slice, of a cube, to access
figures.
PowerOLAP
employs the Excel spreadsheet as
a front end, so any slice can be
viewed through Excel and subsequently
published through its report-writing
features. Likewise, users can enter
data through the familiar spreadsheet
interface—to test "what if" analytical
scenarios or, if they have requisite
security privileges, to "write back"
changes to a final model version.
Note that all data is stored within
PowerOLAP, not Excel—even so, spreadsheets
created via PowerOLAP maintain a
dynamic connection to source cubes,
retaining their standard Excel formula,
formatting and graphical capabilities.

Powerful Functions :
|
PowerOLAP
also provides powerful functions
beyond those provided by Excel,
so users can write their own formulas
that will send dependent figures
to a range of cells or even to different
cubes. This enables users to construct
templates requiring the input of
only several key variables, further
enhancing their capabilities to
create "what if" scenarios (e.g.,
What will next year's budget revenues
for Product "A" look like if we
increase its advertising by 10%?).
Within seconds, all cells affected
by a newly entered number are updated.
Speed, flexibility and performance—finally,
one simple solution for organization-wide
decision support needs.

Stand
Alone Client or Server:
|
PowerOLAP
is available as a standalone product;
it is also the client application
to the PowerOLAP S3 - MDB Server
within a PowerOLAP Suite.
The PowerOLAP
Suite includes OLAP Exchange which
is a bi-directional inferface to
your relational data, it can be
used to send data back from the
multidimensional to the relational
database—with the capability to
implement detailed user security
privileges. And because OLAP Exchange
is dynamic, changes originating
in either database can be reported
instantaneously to the other database
system.
