Product Overview

The OLAP for ArcGIS add-on allows users of OLAP server technology to view their business data in the ArcGIS environment via read-only tables. OLAP servers, including SAP BW, SAS OLAP Server, and Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services, are high-capacity, multiuser data manipulation engines that support and operate on multidimensional data structures. OLAP offers consistently rapid response to queries, regardless of database size and complexity, and handles multiuser client/server modes.

OLAP for ArcGIS seamlessly integrates with ArcGIS Desktop. ArcCatalog is a convenient tool to organize OLAP connections and tables. As part of ArcCatalog, the Table Wizard provides an easy-to-use interface to create and edit OLAP tables. ArcMap offers superior mapping functionality to analyze and visualize the spatial aspects of your business data.
