Abstract :
As companies seek to automate more of their processes, they are finding that decision support requires a significantly different data management approach than day-to-day operations. Online transaction processing applications simply automate data processing, which is sufficient to handle day-to-day operations. The paper considers a seven-step process which combines online analytical processing, data cube analysis, and data mining to streamline decision making in companies with multidimensional databases
