Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cubes. A case study in Labour Inspectorate of Alba County (Romania)

Abstract

In a number of situations public sector information analysis uses to be performed empirically without any concrete procedure which should be based on the use of some models or even the use of collected data analysis tools. At the same time, the issue of data turning into conclusive information for a public institution does not benefit from an efficient development framework. On the contrary, the idea of systemized data analysis lacks completely in the case of most public institutions. This paper is intended as a case study of data analysis by means of an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) system with real data from the Area Labour Inspectorate of Alba County (Romania) to prove both the efficiency and the need to create such a system. The aim is to prove the beneficial role of OLAP technology implementation in public institutions, at any level which may involve a managerial act.
