Best for corporate and public information delivery systems
Embeddable Business Intelligence
ContourCube brings interactive reporting and data analysis features to your applications. Users can drill down, pivot and filter data with subsecond response times. Embedded Business Intelligence gives your application a new quality, helps to leave competitors behind and satisfy users.

Zero report coding
With ContourCube you don't have to code tens of invariant reports forms. ContourCube accesses your datasets and you design reports with simple drag and drop. The number of reports decreases, because they became interactive. It saves your time and money.

Self-service interactive reporting
ContourCube provides a new approach to processing data. User interacts with data and gets hundreds of reports just by managing rows and columns. In enables you to get all necessary reports just in time and by yourself.

Royalty free
ContourCube is supplied royalty free. Only development licenses are needed. Having embedded the component into your product, you don't have to pay for users.

Extremely fast processing of large data volumes
By its performance ContourCube OLAP engine can be compared to OLAP servers. It enables processing large data volumes on client side in a matter of seconds. This allows you to create easy-to-use, high-performance applications, which don't need an additional OLAP server.

Rich data visualization
ContourCube allows you to dynamically highlight important values: changing font, color, inserting graphs directly into table cells. Formatting conditions can be simple or sophisticated, defined with multidimensional formulas.

Handy reporting
Unlike other OLAP tools, ContourCube can wrap strings and headings. It is vitally important for business applications. With several facts and long lines report can become too wide. ContourCube allows you to switch to string wrapping mode in both design- and runtime, and get a narrow report which will stay invariant when printed or exported to HTML or Excel spreadsheet.

Outside dimensions area also can be wrapped to let user always see dimensions by which the entire table is filtered. Unique ability to set a single dimension value and represent selected value in Caption allows you to create vivid and simple report forms.

Header and Footer areas enable company name being added to reports, it makes them useful for docflow enterprises.

Business functions
ConoturCube acquired the experience of numerous projects, carried out by leading consulting companies worldwide. With Contour Cube this experinece becomes available to every developer.

ContourCube has a powerful formula language with business functions and a library of embedded algorythms. Date management functions allow you to easily get custom reports for statistics, govermental agencies, embed trends and time deviations itno corporate reports. The LAST algorythm along with by-dimension aggregation for each fact is ideal for multidimensional balances.

Information delivery
Contour microcube makes report distribution easy as never before. High compression decreases traffic, data and metadata in a single file make application programming for each report unnecessary, microcubes can be read as files or streams by HTTP and FTP. Contour microcubes can be published to the web, to a local network or sent by email.
