Hi,
I have spent hours trawling the internet but the whole Web OLAP thing seems to be hugely bogged down by small companies delivering solutions.
All I want to know is. If you work from home could you connect to a server at work using Report Builder 2 to analyse data?
Along with this could you also use BIDS Reporting Services from home to connect to a server at work?
The same questio again with Performance Point? Could you sit an home and work with data from a centralised server at work to create dashboards etc.
Im currently looking into Sharepoint at the moment but Im imagining this is where you publish reports for users, rather than get involved with the analytics.
Do developers and Analysts need to be office based? Also does the Microsoft Suite BIDS, Sharepoint, ProClarity etc provide WEB OLAP?
Im currently creating a report to look into these issues for work.
Thanks in advance
Debbie

Stewart is right, I regularly connect to the office domain using a VPN connection and work will all of the mentioned services and more.
Keep in mind that to connect using Remote Desktop, you'll also need to be on the domain alternatively the RDC service endpoint will need to be exposed to the internet, which may not be your sysadmins idea of a good time.

Put simply, if you want to be able to access the machines 'in the office' you need to be on the same network - so you either drive in, sit down and log on, or you can use a VPN (virtual private network), which allows you to connect to the remote (ie office) network from where ever you happen to be. It's quite possible that your workplace already has a VPN in place and you simply need to get the software and/or connection information.
RDC is remote desktop connection. RemoteDesktop allows you to connect to a remote machine and use it, as if you were sitting in front of it.
