Strategy provides a rich set of functionality ranging from OLAP Services and Report Services to Narrowcast capabilities, all of which can be exposed in a unified Web interface. Using the Strategy standard
interface, Intelligence Server can join data from different MDX cube sources, in addition to relational databases, and bring the data into one cohesive user community known as a Strategy project.
Many companies have stored data that is specifically structured for query, reporting, and analysis, known as a data warehouse, and they also have data stored in an MDX cube source such as IBM Cognos TM1. This system setup requires an integrated business intelligence system (BI), such as Strategy, that can concurrently access both the MDX cube source and the data warehouse effectively.
Strategy allows you to integrate data from MDX cube sources such as SAP BW, Microsoft Analysis Services, Oracle Essbase, or IBM Cognos TM1 into your Strategy projects and applications. This integration enables you to use the rich set of Strategy reporting and analysis functionality on the data in your MDX cube source.
