Project summary |
Implementation of the SAS Information Delivery Portal. This portal allows controllers, analysts and researchers to benchmark their company results against the market by means of on demand reports. The information is extracted directly from their data warehouse consisting of several OLAP cubes. To allow the users to request detailed information by querying the information in the OLAP cubes a bespoke user interface was developed allowing users to drag and drop dimensions and measures to the rows and columns of their report. Before this data will be presented to the user several tests are performed on the data to ensure that the market total cannot be traced back to a data of a single competitor. To enable automated user and group management, programs have been developed that synchronise the information between the customers’ CRM system and the SAS information delivery portal. The differences will be displayed in bespoke maintenance programs in the portal as the administrator wishes to manually verify the changes. Group membership can be modified. |
