We’d love to invite everyone to our next webinar that will take place on Tuesday, October 27th.
Combine the Power of OLAP with Ad-Hoc Self-Service Reporting
Sign up for the webinar >>
The power and value of OLAP are widely appreciated among BI users and IT departments. The ability to interact with data to generate instant insights has proven to be the most powerful BI engine available.
The biggest challenge with OLAP is the lack of ad-hoc flexibility to generate reports on top of the data that was not previously brought into an OLAP cube.
Join us for a webinar where we will demonstrate how users can benefit from the power of OLAP for ad-hoc reporting and analysis. With Panorama’s new universal data connector, end users can connect to any data source and start analyzing it instantly while OLAP models are automatically created for them behind the scenes.

Self-service has always been an important factor in the business intelligence community. But in today’s BI world, most companies limit their users to create their own self-service reports on top of pre-defined, pre-modeled data. The self-service capabilities are only feasible when working with such data. The real issue is that users are sometimes limited when required to work with pre-modeled data since so much data is not covered under the “Official BI data warehouse” – ultimately this leads to decisions based on incomplete research. That, coupled with the growing number of applications used by organizations today, is why it is important that your BI solution provides complete self-service capabilities that include also the ability to connect ad-hoc to any data source as well as build their own reports and navigate the data.
Self-service implies that your information workers become less reliant on the parameters the IT department sets out for your BI solution. A lot of solutions out there take a narrow view on self-service. What makes the most sense for today’s information worker is to utilize a comprehensive, end-to-end self-service approach with no IT-defined limitations.
