From Rosenheim, Germany is Cubeware

 

Cubeware was founded in 1997 and based in Rosenheim, Germany where it was established by Hermann Hebben and a number of other BI students who had achieved experience of large BI solutions within companies such as Pirelli and McDonald's.

 

Despite its beginnings as a company who were interested in the larger BI Solutions Cubeware has over time become a much flexible and compact solution for the BI market. Still based around the principle of delivering a sophisticated solution to users it has also taken the opportunity to fragment the OLAP cubes it delivers to increase the adaptability for both Business Intelligence and Performance Management and it allows Cubeware to deliver to the user one of the most impressive and powerful BI tools in the channel. Cubeware Analysis System is a compact but comprehensive, intuitive and easy-to-use solution for departmental Business Intelligence.

 

It has taken its lead from its clients and therefore sits as a solution for users who can quickly learn to use the system for efficient and independent work. Cubeware have established their own Cubeware Cockpit which is designed to be a user-friendly graphical front-end tool for independent analysis, under Windows or in a web browser.

 

What it offers the user is an excellent starting point from which to begin to create management reporting and analysis as well as the users own dashboards.

 

This offers the users an unrivalled flexibility and customisation is the key to what makes Cubeware work so well. Not only does Cubeware have an ability to allow users to create its own dashboard, but it also creates a powerful ETL-tool for the extraction, validation and collation of data. This allows users to establish any number of operational systems and, to increase the flexibility of the service offered, to use this data in the multi-dimensional cubes of the Analysis Services. Cubeware also benefits from a previous tie up with SAP in which it has been able to leverage a number of the key components of the SAP legacy systems to generate a great deal of new BI architecture and reporting to work within the Microsoft Stack. Now being implemented more and more on different systems it is only a matter of time before the integration with Microsoft Dynamics is completed.

 

Who should use Cubeware?

 

Given its position as one of the more powerful tools in the sector it is unsurprising that it is designed for the larger users and those who have IT teams that have the requisite skills to maintain such a system. For those who have the knowledgebase and the skills available to create OLAP cubes and have a number of data warehouse installations and different operational systems it is a joyous solution with which to work. Those who are firmly in the Microsoft Dynamics family may have to increase the work load initially to assist with the integration but the rewards of the development and reporting analysis that it can bring are worth it.
