OLAP Reporting
Convenient reporting and analysis tools are required to convert a company’s data warehouse into valuable asset instead of ever-increasing burden. On-line analytical processing (OLAP) is an approach to quickly provide reports based on analytical queries. These reports are then displayed as tables, graphs, diagrams etc.
Exact data mining and analytical reporting functionality and routines are always defined by a specific enterprise business intelligence system and its tasks. A rule of the thumb in this case is that the more data is acquired and managed by a business process, the more sophisticated data drilling and reporting tools it needs. However, query processing time can become a serious issue, especially, when a large number of simultaneous reports are performed.
Texunatech pays close attention to OLAP and advanced reporting functions delivered within its solutions. The common requirements of our customers have included:
- The joining and integration of various differing datasets (in format and shape) to provide a holistic representation of information.
- General reporting features: sorting, filtering, hierarchical reports.
- Rich report visualization: tables, colouring, charts, maps, diagrams, graphs.
- Customisable reports: users can adjust report structure or the structure is defined by user type/access rights.
- Customisable analysis criteria: user is able to define the nature of the measures that they wish to report upon.
- Reports generated automatically on required time intervals.
- Instant reports available from the central data warehouse at multiple web-portals.
- GIS integration, i.e. reports linked to geographical maps.
Our data management solutions can also easily be integrated with any existing reporting and business intelligence tools utilised by our customers, such as Crystal Reports, SPSS etc.
Reporting is one of Texunatech’s core strengths and a key feature of many Texunatech’s products including Soltex, and bespoke software solutions.
