(PRWEB) February 25, 2005 -- Contour Components has extended its public library of sample OLAP cubes, dedicated to share experience of deploying Business Intelligence between IT managers, developers and business professionals. The library is free and invites everyone interested to share their OLAP experience.
People ask: What is OLAP? How can I use OLAP in my business? Is it possible to produce my specific report with OLAP?"
To help people find answers, Contour Components has released new white paper that discloses abstracts of deploying OLAP in various domains. This document, titled 30 Ideas Of Using OLAP", is added with thirty sample multidimensional cubes, also known as Contour Microcubes, produced in the practice. All these are browsable online, as well as in the proprietary application -- Contour OLAPBrowser, available for download from the web site of the company.
This white paper illustrates how to apply OLAP technology to such tasks as:
| | - Sales analysis
- Budget reporting
- Marketing analysis
- Analyzing stocks and inventory
- Various statistical analyses
|
Contour Components believes that the white paper and live examples may be helpful not only for business people, users and IT professionals, but also for business intelligence oriented students.
New OLAP cubes have been added to the online OLAP library, which now hosts over 40 samples. Contour Components plans to permanently extend it with new cubes based on the practice and experience of real projects.
OLAP Library is open for everyone who wants to produce their custom OLAP reports and to share those with others. Users may produce microcubes with Contour OLAPBrowser or a third-party software product powered by ContourCube component.
