Actuate Analytics Designer

Actuate Analytics extends the Actuate Enterprise Reporting Application Platform by providing Web-based Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) capabilities to power users, business analysts, and management. Actuate Analytics empowers these users to interactively explore information, to build insightful, multi-dimensional reports, and to facilitate good decisions while giving IT control over access to the underlying data sources. The Actuate Analytics Designer lets IT control access to the data and define the structure of each cube delivered by the Actuate iServer. Additionally, IT can seamlessly blend Analytics into existing Enterprise Reporting Applications and provide a branded, personalized end-user experience that requires no training. Actuate Analytics has three components. IT or a data-knowledgeable power user uses the Actuate Analytics Cube Designer to define the multi-dimensional structure of a cube, point to the source data onto which it maps, define the categories and measures summarized in it, and set defaults for the user interface experience.

The cube design, called the cube profile, is then published to the Actuate iServer. The iServer now includes Actuate Analytics Cube Factory, which generates highly-compressed, multi-dimensional Analytics cubes based on the definition provided in the cube profile. Like any other report definition in the iServer encyclopedia, a cube can be subscribed, scheduled, run, and cached. In addition, cube reports are also saved with each cube. Finally, the cube, its accompanying reports, and the Actuate Analytics Viewer are sent to the power user’s browser where they explore and analyze the data, using rich OLAP functionality to discover key insights to support their business decisions. As that user explores, they create additional snapshot reports that can be saved both locally and back to the iServer. These cube reports can then be shared with everyday information consumers allowing them to benefit quickly from the analysis.
