The Challenge


•Difficult to maintain the pre-defined data sources developed by the OLAP cubes for future BI systems. 


•Essential BI Reporting carried out manually in Excel.


•Need of a deep skills/ knowledge of the OLAP cubes’ tables structure to combine tables for different purposes.


•Long Time to Market to create values out of OLAP cubes in a few weeks/ months rather than hours/ days

The Solution  


•Data & Metadata - understand what dimensions, hierarchies, levels and measures are contained in a given multi-dimensional cube structure. Retrieve the Data in Offline & Online State of the cube.


•MDX Engine – Point & Click Engine for simple and complex MDX queries – You don’t need to be mdx Expert.


•Measures Calculator - When connected to a cube, type aggregation function can be changed in O-DELTA calculation editor and converted to QlikView variables.


•Cube Audit- Alerts on non tolerance between fact - dimension usage and DSV schema in OLAP
