Introduction

Where is Omnidex used?

Omnidex is used in a wide variety of applications. Essentially, Omnidex is used when you need high performance and increased flexibility. Some of the more common Omnidex applications include:

Businesses usually have a lot of data, but the challenge is to make it useful. Analyzing the data can lead to smart business decisions, but it requires that the analysis be timely and flexible. It is not enough to get a single report. Businesses need to interactively evaluate the data, running “what if” scenarios, probing hunches and testing hypotheses.

  • Speed up business analytics - Omnidex provides high-speed indexing that makes business analytics useful. By providing fast answers, even based on complex criteria, Omnidex allows companies to quickly get the information they need.
  • Create simple, portable data warehouses - There's something powerful about having a snapshot of the data at your disposal, heavily indexed and ready for analysis. Omnidex Snapshots allow you to capture a moment in time using a simple directory of files, and can be easily moved or copied to other servers.
  • Drill down or roll up - Some answers come from looking at an executive summary, while others come from looking at the details. Omnidex provides fast access to data in both formats, allowing analysts to both drill down and roll up.
  • Design automatic rollups - Some questions are asked time and time again. Omnidex allows the creation of rollup tables that pre-aggregate the data. Omnidex will automatically consider whether to use rollup tables or the underlying tables to insure the fastest performance possible.

A data warehouse must provide fast and accurate answers to be useful. Omnidex's high-speed indexing is designed with business analytics in mind. Highly portable Omnidex Snapshots can put a custom data warehouse right in the hands of the people who need it most.
