Executive Summary
Online analytic processing (OLAP) has evolved into a vital and irreplaceable component of business-intelligence (BI) applications. The reason is simple: OLAP lends business perspective to data. As a component of BI rather than the end result, OLAP's location and form are of no significance to the consumers of the information — the decision-makers. That OLAP has become pervasive is significant because it represents the shift in emphasis away from business operations towards the business imperative and the requisite information analysis inherent within performance measurements. OLAP is alive and will continue to thrive as BI applications are deployed to more business users, partners, customers, knowledge workers, and executives.
