Self-Service Analysis & Reporting
In today's fast paced business environment, delivery of passive reports is only the beginning of a successful enterprise business
intelligence solution. By providing “self-service online analytical processing” (OLAP) - where users can determine which information to include in a report and in what
format - Executive Viewer removes the barriers that impede decision making by offering true dynamic interaction with OLAP databases.
Executive Viewer provides users real-time web access to OLAP databases such as Microsoft Analysis
Services and Hyperion Essbase for advanced ad-hoc analysis as well as distributed reporting. Power users and non-power users alike can
gain insight into their business with on-the-fly answers to critical questions, converting stored data into actionable information.
With no programming or training needed, users can explore data from any perspective, dynamically sort/select/pivot information, create
on-the-fly calculations, identify exceptions, generate graphs, print fully formatted reports, and more – with unbeatable response times.
One Product for All User Access Needs
Whether a 10-user or a 10,000-user implementation, Executive Viewer's scalability and flexibility enables a wide range
of users to interact across multiple environments. As a single out-of-the-box solution, Executive Viewer is the only OLAP product that can
provide the below OLAP delivery mechanisms to the user base.

spreadsheet-like environment. Whether pivoting or stacking member information, customized analyses can be saved for future personal or
shared use.
