Abstract
 The Practical Union of OLAP Analysis and Geographic Mapping Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Stuart Nisbet, Gail Kramer Whether it's product sales, insurance rates, or credit card fraud, multidimensional data often contains a geographic dimension that allows analysis based on varying locations. In many cases, these locations are political boundaries such as country, state, province, or city. In other cases, the locations, or regions, are defined based on business rules such as sales territory, wireless coverage plans, or population-based designated market areas (DMAs). In all cases, these defined regions provide a critical context for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) exploration and reporting. Coupling the power and flexibility of ArcGIS Server 9 with modern OLAP reporting tools, the "A" in "OLAP" has never looked so good!
