web analytics

  • Hi , never down this before, can this be anything like a simple graph in excel ftped to the net or also a SSRS object successfully deployed?

  • Can what be a simple thing like Excel? I'm not sure you've defined the problem you have very well.

  • I'm with Steve on this. I don't understand what your question is. Could you elaborate?

  • I'm just keen to know what web analytics involves. I use SAS and SQL for datawarehousing but I need a way of doing web based analytics. Is this through SSRS or OLAP-sql analysis services

  • SSRS and OLAP would be useful in performing web analytics.

  • OLAP, SSRS is just a tool. To do web based analytics, you need a web application that allows you to access data. There are tools that can do this, or you can build your own application with SSRS to do it.

    I assume you mean you're analyzing data from web logs?

  • Basicially I have data in SQL databases I want to be able to put up on a website. So I think this is OLAP.

  • It will depend on how you want to present the data on the website. Both SSRS and OLAP can help you with that - but the presentation of the data is what will drive the decision for the primary tool. If you just want to present a Report (that has minimal user interaction), then use SSRS. If you need the users to be able to use different dimensions or pull different facts, then OLAP will be necessary.

  • I'd agree with Jason. If you just want to get data onto the web, SSRS is probably the easiest thing to do.
