Data Modeling/Cube Creation

Analysis is a valuable, necessary complement to reporting. With OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) analysis it is possible to see trends that are not evident with other types of reporting. Whether they do so consciously or not, effective businesses analyze their performance in a multidimensional manner. Multidimensional analysis involves comparisons of things such as product or channel performance, which can be seen in light of other important business factors like regions, customers, and time. The technology most frequently adopted to address this kind of analysis is online analytical processing (OLAP). With OLAP, details are automatically categorized by the factors that influence decision-making. These factors are called dimensions. OLAP allows managers and analysts to analyze information in the way that they think, across multiple dimensions at the same time. For example, what product sold best, in a specific region, during a specific time period, for a specific sales channel? Because it is inherently clear what specifically you are analyzing in each dimension, OLAP provides excellent visibility into the data. With OLAP users can quickly see business performance over time and, due to the way OLAP works; this can be done with very fast response times. KPI consultants help our customers improve their performance by:

• Providing quick response times. Conducting fast, concise analysis lets companies quickly get to the “why” behind business issues so they can address them in a timely manner
• Delivering powerful, built-in time trending analysis that let users spot trends quickly

Providing quick answers to commonly asked business questions is the core value to the organization. Because KPI designs these solutions completely around key business factors by using dimensions, the quality of answers obtained from this analysis is very high. Our clients can then extend this reach and share findings companywide with effective reporting that helps them know sooner, understand faster, and react more quickly than the competition.
