Developing such systems can require huge manpower and time. BI server platform provides an advanced platform on which complex applications can be developed and deployed very rapidly, resulting not only significant cost reduction but also with sophisticated analytics!

What is Web-based Business Intelligence (BI)?

Conventional Business Intelligence (BI) software systems are in general single-user stand-alone desktop programs or they require such client programs to be installed on each user's computers. Furthermore, the types of reports and dashboards are largely pre-determined by system's design. There are very little rooms to customize according to user's requirements. Web-based OLAP, on the other hand, uses web technology to deliver analytic information to multiple users simultaneously, overcoming the limitations of conventional BI systems. Data is centrally stored on database systems and processed dynamically when user visits web pages containing analytic information. Analytic information is embedded into html pages, specially written for the needs of special users, such as executives, managers, analysts, specialists, and so on.
