This revamped section includes information on the OLAP Council’s failed efforts, as well as the more successful OLE DB for OLAP, XML for Analysis and JOLAP. This detailed briefing tells you what you need to know about the incompatible API standards in the OLAP market. Find out about the kinds of problems caused, not only for vendors of client tools and interoperability with OLAP servers, but also for users themselves where there are different solutions deployed inside a single organization.

Also, learn about the prospects for the development of an industry-wide open standard for OLAP. |
