FedEx Gains Better Insight Into Profitability Metrics With 64-Bit OLAP Solution
Overview FedEx Express (FedEx), the world's largest express transportation company, needed deeper, more granular insight into factors that influence the profitability of an aspect of its business. The move from a UNIX-based analysis solution to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services delivered a tenfold increase in performance and an 80 percent decrease in the cost of ownership. A subsequent upgrade to a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system-based solution running on an Itanium II-based server delivered an additional threefold performance increase and an 85 to 90 percent decrease in data load times.
