Brio Technology and Applix TM1 have announced integration of Brio Enterprise with Applix`s TM1 Server 7.0, the first commercially available OLE DB OLAP engine. The integration of the two represents a complete OLE DB-compliant OLAP solution, claimed to be the first in the industry.
The Brio Enterprise family of business intelligence products delivers a query, distributed OLAP, and reporting solution that can be deployed across the enterprise to complement the functionality of Applix`s TM1`s Server 7.0 for OLE DB. In April, Brio announced the first commercially available front-end integration with OLE DB for OLAP for business intelligence products.
"Brio`s support of Applix`s new TM1 Server 7.0 for OLE DB is an integral part of our continuing support for the Microsoft OLE DB for OLAP API," says Chris Grejtak, executive VP of marketing at Brio. "The integration of Brio Enterprise with the Applix TM1 server for OLE DB has broadened the availability of interoperable OLAP solutions, while giving business users access to financial data."
Building on Applix TM1`s RAM-based OLAP model, TM1 Server 7.0 for OLE DB provides a realtime OLAP engine for financial decision support across the enterprise, including financial OLAP performance and scalability in profitability analysis, risk management, performance measurement, interactive budgeting, activity-based costing and productivity analysis.
The Brio Enterprise solution for Applix TM1 extends the calculation and querying capabilities of the TM1 Server 7.0 for OLE DB by enabling portable desktop analysis, time- and event-based scheduling of reports and a robust, interactive Web interface to the Applix environment.
Since 1984, TM1 has advanced the art of RAM-based OLAP for realtime analytical processing, targeting the financial OLAP class of applications. Applix TM1 has patented technology that makes realtime OLAP feasible, including calculation in memory, cell-based multidimensional rules, and security.
With the introduction of two-way replication, TM1 is the only OLAP environment designed for real-time, collaborative financial applications for workgroups and the enterprise. More than 2 000 companies worldwide benefit from TM1`s realtime analytical processing.
Brio is represented in South Africa by Abraxas Software.
