Global Technology Business Intelligence (GBI) has announced the availability of Version 4.0 of Hyperion Wired for OLAP. Hyperion has extended the functionality of Wired for OLAP to enterprise-wide information delivery via the Web with a repository which supports leading relational databases and centralised administration.
Web enablement includes a browser look and feel for both Windows and Web clients. This makes it easy to use as functionality and looks are similar across both versions.
Jose Correia, GBI products and services director, views this release as leveraging the performance, scalability and analytical power of Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server.
"Wired for OLAP is enterprise-class and allows organisations to deliver information to large user communities at a low cost of ownership," says Correia. "The new 100% Java clients deliver the interactivity and core functionality of the Windows client over the Web."
The new Wired Analyzer Web Viewer Edition is designed for mass deployment. This, adds Correia, makes it cost-effective to give all employees access to the information they need to make better business decisions.
The new repository, which previously used a Paradox database, now also supports leading relational databases including DB2 and Oracle. "This provides an enterprise-strength repository that enables very large user communities to collaborate," notes Correia. "It also delivers improved performance, scalability, reliability and manageability."
A new Administrator module allows fast centralised, drag-and-drop administration. Security has been enhanced and can be applied just as effectively to the Web as to the Windows environment.
"Wired for OLAP allows the deployment of analytic applications including sales and marketing analysis, customer and project profitability, performance management, promotion planning, and brand management," Correia concludes.
