Abstract

Business intelligence systems are becoming a growing trend on the market nowadays.Reason for this is the increasing amount of information generated and collected within the company and from many external sources.In order to remain competitive on the market, it is very important to collect and select relevant information in time, from which a business decision can be made.OLAP (On Line Analytic Processing) systems represent one part of business intelligence systems.Their goal is analytic processing and data extraction for business decision-making.Given the increasing demands of the market, it is important to prepare students to work with these tools as early as in the classroom.In this paper we present an overview of the development and characteristics of OLAP systems and a method of their implementation for educational purposes.We compare the characteristics of two selected OLAP tools used in the classroom.
