1 What is OLAP, and why is it important?

OLAP stands for online analytical processing, and it is a technique that allows you to perform complex and multidimensional analysis on large and diverse data sets. OLAP enables you to slice and dice data, drill down and up, roll up and aggregate, and pivot and filter data to gain insights and answer business questions. OLAP is important because it can help you improve your decision-making, optimize your performance, identify opportunities and risks, and discover trends and patterns in your data.

I agree with your description of OLAP and its importance. Two things you can consider adding are: 1. Analytics is a mindset. When done right, it makes a positive impact on the overall culture within the organizations. 2. It helps instill discipline across all business functions and creates adherence toward processes.

OLAP systems process data, creating multidimensional arrays of information with a large number of connections between individual elements. To do this, they collect data from various sources, such as data warehouses, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, or customer relationship management (CRM) systems. After processing on the OLAP server, the information is transferred to user applications.

2 What are the types and formats of OLAP training?

OLAP training can come in different types and formats, depending on your learning preferences, availability, and level of expertise. For instance, online courses can be convenient and affordable, but they may lack interaction, feedback, and support. Alternatively, classroom courses offer more engagement, but they can be more expensive and time-consuming. Books and ebooks can provide comprehensive information, but they may be outdated. Blogs and podcasts are informal sources of information that are free and easy to access, but they may be biased or superficial.

In my experience, online courses when coupled with a project/usecase from a business helps learners connect the dots. The end goal would be to help the learner understand the end to end flow of the information starting with business process all the way till analytics.

3 What are the goals and outcomes of OLAP training?

Before you choose an OLAP training course or provider, define your goals and outcomes. What do you want to learn, achieve, or improve by taking an OLAP training course? How will you measure your progress and success? How will you apply your OLAP skills to your work or projects? Your goals and outcomes should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), and they should align with your current or desired role, industry, or domain. For example, your goal could be to learn how to use a specific OLAP tool — such as Microsoft Analysis Services — to create and query OLAP cubes for a retail business scenario within six weeks.

I agree. However, training should be tool agnostic as much as possible. The learner should be taught the thought process and the mindset required to be successful in this field.

Always review the course content and flow. Make sure the course is not focused on tools alone. Tools can be learnt offline as well with practice and some hands. It is the philosophy behind OLAP that should be learnt.
