As a decision maker, on-line analytical processing (OLAP) enables you to manipulate the information that is available throughout your organisation, testing hypotheses and getting answers to business questions. OLAP tools empower you to manipulate information interactively, asking the questions that are relevant to your business area. You can base your questions on business perspectives such as geography, time and product, giving you just the analysis you need.
