During an economic slowdown, it becomes crucial that enterprises make the most of all their resources. This is especially true with analytic solutions, which can become prohibitively expensive in terms of time and money if a careful methodology isn't in place to maximize the chances of success.

If heeded, this methodology will help ensure that precious time and money isn't wasted as your organization builds or improves its analytic capabilities.
- OLAP & a Show
Length: 2 hours
View presentation in PDF format
An effective OLAP solution must be not only useful, but also engaging, like a good show. The design and functionality must be such that the end user wants to go back and use it again and again, the same way you would want to see a good show more than once.
The program is broken down into show-like component parts: a discussion of the analysis services cast - ROLAP, MOLAP and HOLAP; the design studio, demonstrating techniques for presenting data with higher impact; and the role of producer/director, exploring how successful planning and direction leads to better presentation.
