To make decisions in a multidimensional world, you need to see your data from all angles. An MDDB is a specialized data storage facility that stores summarized data for fast and easy access.
Users can quickly view large amounts of data as a value at any cross-section of business dimensions.
Once an MDDB is created, it can be copied or transported to any platform. In addition, regardless of where the MDDB resides, it is accessible to requesting applications on any supported platform anywhere on the network, including the Web. You can respond quickly to changing markets, rapidly identify new strategic directions and eliminate inefficiencies. 2001 SAS Institute Inc. All Rights Reserved.
