Engine Solutions use SQL Server and Microsoft Analysis Services to create integrated data from disparate sources within or external to your organization. Online analytical processing (olap) tools to enable users to analyze multidimensional data interactively from multiple perspectives, rolling-up, drilling-down, and slicing and dicing data.

Analysis Services is an online analytical data engine used in decision support and business intelligence (BI) solutions, providing the analytical data for business. A typical workflow for Analysis Services includes building an OLAP or tabular data model, deploy the model as a database to an Analysis Services instance, process the database to load it with data, and then assign permissions to allow data access. When it's ready to go, this multi-purpose data model can be accessed by any client application supporting Analysis Services as a data source.

Reports and client applications such as Excel, Reporting Services reports, and other third-party BI tool can then be used to drive business decisions.
