I'm looking for an OLAP VAR for a client. (OnLine Analytic Processing Value-Added Resellers.) In English, that's a consulting company which sells you an OLAP software program and sets it up for you. OLAP software program lets you do lots of fancy reports on your data. That is to say, OLAP programs should be really good at handling databases and letting you do things like make a pretty pie chart of how many candy bars you are selling in Western Idaho on weekends, and which stores do the best business relative to the per-capita income of the surrounding census tracts. Given that data handling is their "core competency", it's disconcerting to use their website to search for VARs in California and find some in New Jersey.
