OLAP cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
OLAP cubes can be thought of as extensions to the two-dimensional array of a spreadsheet. For example a company might wish to analyze some financial data by product, by time-period, by city, by type of revenue and cost, and by comparing actual data with a budget.

Ajax (programming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
-
For example, in a classic desktop application, a programmer has the choice of populating a tree view control with all the data needed when the form initially loads, or with just the top-most level of data—which would load more quickly, especially when the dataset is very large. In the second case, the application would fetch additional data into the tree control depending on which item the user selects. This functionality is difficult to achieve in a web page without Ajax. To update the tree based on a user's selection would require the entire page to re-load, leading to a very jerky, non-intuitive feel for the web user who is browsing the data in the tree.
-
Web pages, unlike native applications, are loosely coupled, meaning that the data they display are not tightly bound to data sources and must be first marshaled (set out in proper order) into an HTML page format before they can be presented to a user agent on the client machine. For this reason, web pages have to be re-loaded each time a user needs to view different datasets. By using the XMLHttpRequest object to request and return data without a re-load, a programmer bypasses this requirement and makes the loosely coupled web page behave much like a tightly coupled application, but with a more variable lag time for the data to pass through a longer "wire" to the remote web browser.

EAI and SOA: factors and methods influencing the integration of multiple ERP systems (in an SAP environment) to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
-
SOA looks for the corporation to have as few interfaces as possible, which means reducing or eliminating any interfaces that would allow interruption of data flow between systems, and therefore eliminating any access to the data via touch points in the data processing – for example, Excel spreadsheets. This allows the auditing of the system without looking for human error in the flow process of the data. SOA prefers the use of integration rather than interface
-
it was reported that 85 percent of companies surveyed said they were preparing for changes in their IT systems to support compliance.
