The Local Cube Information Center  

We have created the Local Cube Information Center for the purpose of providing information about local cubes and for promoting the use of local cube technology.   

Local cube technology is available when you use Microsoft's Business Intelligence tools - Microsoft SQL Server 7 or higher and PivotTable Services, which is available in Microsoft Office 2000 or higher, Visual Basic 6.0 or higher, and other Microsoft tools.
Local cubes are files that contain OLAP cubes. They allow a person to use OLAP when they're not connected to an Analysis Server.

Would you like to improve the speed of your cube browsing? Would you like your users to view OLAP data offline? You can do this with CubeSlice. We can demo CubeSlice for you, using your own cubes or with our sample cubes. Sign up now for a free demo.
