Implementing a BI Reporting Environment - Making Dashboards More OLAP Friendly

Overview

The Credit Corp reporting environment is used on a daily basis by the management team to track performance at all levels of the business. Taking advantage of SAS Enterprise BI Server (in particular SAS BI dashboards, SAS OLAP Server, and SAS Web Report Studio), users are able to get a high-level view of performance through a series of dashboards and then can further analyze data at a lower level with OLAP reports. This paper is aimed at SAS users implementing or thinking of implementing a BI portal solution. It discusses in detail the main features of the reporting environment including applying data security to OLAP cubes in an automatic way and building BI dashboards that are dynamically generated to show the appropriate information for each user.
