OLAP Cubes
A “cube” or data cube is an advanced tool for data analysis that provides fast and easy data manipulation from multiple perspectives. However, the true nature of a data cube is multi-dimensional.
“OLAP” is an acronym for On-Line Analytical Processing. While OLTP tools are very powerful and effective for reports, they are very slow when an entire database or data collection must be summarized. OLAP performs much better in that arena. As of today, PPMO is creating new daily and event-based reports utilizing Analytics section in TeamDynamix.
Historically, Technology Solutions PPMO utilized multiple Universes in SAP Business Objects made available by AITS Decision Support to analyze project data in the former Clarity PPM Data Warehouse on EDDIE.
