Attendee Comments: Seminar with o2olap, Microsoft & Rønberg
IT (25 January 2005)
Director for Financial Accounting Services Company providing part time Finance Director
services and a member of the BDO Stoy Hayward AllianceThe o2olap seminar is great
introduction to OLAP and SQL Analysis Services It is possible that OLAP will become
the standard for businesses who lack the budget for well known reporting solutions
or the like for automation of the production of meaningful management information
Because of dynamic linking budgeting and forecasting can be made more efficient
OLAP is a logical progression for those who are frustrated by what they cannot do
with pivot tables It is not just general ledger data, the whole point is dynamic
linking to all systems data.
PLC System Consultant - "This seminar was helpful in updating some of the current
offerings in the OLAP market, especially the great strides Microsoft have made with
Analysis Services both now and into the future. The presentation concerning the
use of DTS in integrating the business operation systems (Ledgers, Sales, CRM) to
Analytical services was well done and demonstrated the ease in which "Download Spaghetti"
can be replaced with a structured data extract, transformation and load process.
The benefits of o2olap built over a DTS update to Analytical services were clearly
demonstrated especially the ability to write back data to the models for forecasting
purposes. All in all a very worthwhile use of my time."
