Teradata OLAP Connector (TOC), Teradata Schema Workbench (TSW), Teradata Aggregate Designer (TAD) and Teradata OLAP Server (TOS) 14.10 releases are now GCA. In addition to several key new features, this release adds Teradata OLAP Server which includes an XMLA engine that provides data access interaction between a client application and a Business Intelligence provider working over the Internet providing direct and optimized access to the Teradata ROLAP environment. Teradata OLAP solutions can now be deployed with more than just Excel as BI vendors support now includes arcplan and Tableau using TOC and SAP Business Objects through TOS. And for users who support multiple BI tools, they can now be deployed using the same Multi-Dimensional Model built on Teradata. In leveraging the same multidimensional model, all investments in optimization and performance are shared across the entire customer set of BI tool users. This ensures overall lower Total Cost of Ownership.
