Analytics Extension makes the best use of Microsoft‟s powerful SQL Server Analysis Services to
provide business knowledge and customized reporting on your TANDBERG TMS Server, and
integration with Business Intelligence applications. Analytics Extension enables the use of
standardized, OLAP compatible clients to access a known and supported list of information about the
