March 1, 2005 – IQub today announced that it has released OLAP Browser 3.0, the latest version of its data cube browser application.

OLAP Browser unleashes the power of Microsoft’s SQL Server with a desktop application featuring point-and-click analysis and reporting. Through easy-to-understand navigation and uncomplicated access to information, users can perform powerful data analysis, create reports, and publish to a variety of standardized formats (Excel, HTML, PDF, etc).

OLAP Browser 3.0 comes in three newly configured editions:

• OLAP Browser (Standard Edition)
  
• OLAP Browser AS (Analysis Services Edition)
  
• OLAP Browser Pro (Professional Edition)

The new 3.0 versions have increased multi-dimensional analysis capabilities and improved data navigation for easier reporting. It is now easier than ever to turn the mountains of raw corporate data into meaningful information.

“We are in the information delivery business, putting the right information into the hands that need it, when and where required,” said Randy Birch, President of IQub. “IQub’s OLAP Browser empowers staff to make informed business decisions quickly and with confidence--from Clerk to CEO”.

Each edition of OLAP Browser 3.0 is designed to facilitate different data management needs:

• The OLAP Browser Pro Version is great for Business Analysts and Senior Executives who want the power to connect to both SQL Server Cubes and to offline/local cubes. Furthermore, the Pro version allows you to create specialized target area cubes for distribution to other departments using its unique Cube Copy feature.
• OLAP Browser AS Version is suited for Financial and Marketing Analysts, providing them with up-to-date information on company sales and trends. OLAP Browser AS lets you stay on top of sales and trends by connecting directly to all your MS SQL Server Cubes.
• Since OLAP Browser (Standard Version) connects to Local/Offline Cubes, it is great for Department and Regional Mangers who want to quickly view their target area cubes. Sales Executives can also take advantage, as it allows them to access their sales cubes while on the road.
