Analysis involves statistical modelling using an assortment of tools to format the multidimensional values which allows to represent values using metaphors and 'Swap and Move', or 'Slice and Dice', which juxtaposes dimensions in more meaningful arrangements that illustrate patterns.

These views are then presented using a variety of front-end tools to navigate the view, seeking to understand the relationships between various dimensions and members. These views could be in the form of executive dashboards, portals and even pervasive devises like PDAs. Users can drill up, down and across to select the level of detail, or generality, with which they wish to work.
