Buy Microsoft's Analysis Services - o2olap for Excel $850.00 (as at Jan 2005)
Microsoft Analysis Services (OLAP) and SQL Server are outstanding products but lack some key capabilities for finance and analyst users such as spreadsheet modelling, freeform reports and writeback. O2OLAP for Excel overcomes these limitations, allowing users to take advantage of the inherent architectural and commodity cost benefits of Microsoft technologies. New market leading functionality enables users to create executive information systems (EIS) without having to write or support a macro.
The combination of Microsoft technology and o2olap for Excel makes a compelling solution for financial reporting, management reporting, financial consolidations, currency translations, budgeting, planning, forecasting, executive information systems (EIS), data mining and data warehouse solutions.
