Abstract
In the era of big data, decision-makers require fast, interactive, and meaningful insights from multidimensional datasets. Traditional OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) systems often demand specialized desktop tools, which limit accessibility and collaboration. CubeViz is a web based OLAP cube visualization tool designed to simplify multidimensional data analysis through an intuitive, browser-based interface. It enables users to perform OLAP operations such as slice, dice, drill-down, roll-up, and pivot directly from the web without the need for additional software installations. The system integrates backend data cubes with dynamic front-end visualization components to represent complex data relationships in a clear and interactive manner. Built using modern web technologies, CubeViz enhances data accessibility, performance, and user experience. The tool aims to support analysts and business users in discovering trends, patterns, and anomalies efficiently through interactive cube visualization, thereby facilitating real-time decision-making and strategic analysis.
