These include OLAP tools from microsoft corp.,Oracle Express, and Informix metacube. The Arbor Essbase OLAP tool is from an independent software vendor. The site www.databeacon.com provides an on-line demo of the Data beacon OLAP tools for use on web and text-file data sources. Many companies also provide analysis tools for specific applications, such as customer relationship management.
Major database vendors also offer data warehousing products coupled with their database systems. These provide support functionality for data modeling, cleansing, loading and querying. The website www.dwinfocenter.org provides information on data-ware housing products.
There is also a wide variety of general- purpose data-mining tools, including mining tools from the SAS institute, IBM intelligent Miner, and SGI Mineset. A good deal of expertise is required to apply general-purpose mining tools for specific applications, as a result, a large number of mining tools have been developd to address specialized applications.
