From IT management systems to business intelligence to unified communications platforms, we are passionate about delivering solutions that work for you, so that you can focus on the business that matters most.

Cube Design

Enterprise Software Solutions offers assistance with every step in building a Business Intelligence (BI) solution using the Microsoft BI stack. The first component is the database warehouse. This is where the data is stored, managed and searched. We can help with designing the database, creating the referential integrity, and optimizing the indexing strategy based on the data access patterns. We use MS SQL server as the database engine.

Loading the data into the warehouse may require additional steps for scrubbing and cleaning it. The process is known as ETL (Extract, Transform, Load). MS Integration Services (SSIS) are used for this task. The next step in the process is designing the cube based on the business requirements. MS Analysis Service is the aggregation engine that hosts and manages the multidimensional data.

The cube design covers various aspects. Security is one of them. We offer solutions that can be deployed on the intranet or the Internet, with authorization granularity down to the individual user. Processing is the step that takes the data from the data warehouse and pushes it into a multidimensional format. Various techniques are used for optimizing and speeding up this process. Once the cube is ready, various tools are used to access and query the data. We offer a web-based solution for the front-end. Assistance with writing and tuning MDX queries is also provided.

The Companion for MS Analysis Server can monitor and optimize the various steps of the cube and database implementations. It can also guarantee SSAS server performance especially important in Internet deployments.

We offer Complete Business Intelligence Solutions including consultation, design, testing, presentation, delivering, monitoring, tuning and optimizing.

SSAS Troubleshooting / Optimizing

Most solutions are created in a development environment with limited amount of test data and queries. Once the solution is moved to production, various performance issues start to surface. Scalability and predictable performance become the focus of the solution. These requirements can be approached from two different angles.

The first one is via configuration. Our front-end solution provides several configurable options, which control how the user is interacting with the back-end service. For example, if a very large dimension is marked for filtering, our software will not allow the user to select the dimension before its being filtered.

The second one is via monitoring the back-end. We offer software that monitor SQL and SSAS 2005 and above versions. A feature, called “Resource Governor”, controls expensive queries and terminates them before they affect the server.

The Companions also collect a lot of information that is used for tuning the cube and database implementations. Various reports cover every aspect of the internal works of both SSAS and SQL engines. We also provide manual tuning services for both production and development machines.
