Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP is an easy to install driver for your PC. It directly connects familiar applications like Microsoft Excel to your Oracle OLAP database for powerful ad hoc query and analysis.

 

Connecting Microsoft Excel to Oracle Has Never Been Easier

 

Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP allows you to use the powerful and popular ad hoc query and analysis capabilities of Microsoft Excel PivotTables® and PivotCharts® with your Oracle OLAP business intelligence data. PivotTables provide cross-tab functionality to comprehensively present your data in order to answer complex analytical questions. PivotCharts provide visual insight and reporting in a powerful, dashboard-like manner. Using Excel, you can slice, dice, pivot and gain meaningful insight from your Oracle data the same way that you would if you were connecting directly to Microsoft Analysis Services or SAP® NetWeaver® BW. Excel is also the ideal route for transferring data – even hot linked – to other Microsoft Office applications like Word and PowerPoint®.

 

Eliminate Confusing and Inconsistent Spreadmarts by Connecting Directly to Your Oracle Data Cube

 

Why use an expensive mid-tier server when you can connect directly to your Oracle data cube? Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP connects you directly with your Oracle database. Direct connectivity means that you don’t have to load your data into a mid-tier server when using Excel. It also means no more spreadmarts that obscure the truth.

 

In addition, Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP preserves all security policies set by your Oracle Database Administrator to ensure your data stays protected.

 

Save Time and Money with a Solution that’s Easy to Deploy, Low Cost and Requires No Training

 

Why use other spreadsheet tools and add-ins with different user paradigms when you can use Excel itself? Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP has low total cost of ownership. As a client-side driver, it’s easy to deploy, cost effective and low maintenance. No additional mid-tier servers or add-ins are needed. Furthermore, the solution requires no special training. If users are familiar with Microsoft Excel, accessing Oracle data is the same as Excel connecting to any data source. No need to learn a new interface.

 

Realize the Power of Your Oracle Database by Accessing Your Data Directly with a Tool You Already Have

 

Why use an expensive BI client when the cross-tab and dashboard power of Excel is excellent and growing? Simba’s MDX Provider for Oracle OLAP allows you to use the world’s most popular and familiar multi-dimensional BI tool to directly access your Oracle data. Ad hoc query and analysis has never been easier, and connecting Microsoft Excel to Oracle has never been simpler.

 

Oracle users can make use of the latest Excel PivotTable functionality to access and analyze their data, including very advanced formatting and presentation options, as well as gain integration with other Microsoft Office products.

 

How It Works
