This article presents the implementation process of a Data Warehouse and a multidimensional analysis of business data for a holding company in the financial sector.

The established system extracts and processes the operational database information which supports cash management information by using Integration Services and Analysis Services tools from Microsoft SQL Server. The end-user interface is a pivot table, properly arranged to explore the information available by the produced cube.
