Timbr integrates seamlessly with the tools and platforms you already use, through ODBC, JDBC, and MDX support.
This means your semantic models are accessible directly from BI dashboards, reporting tools, Excel, OLAP engines, and enterprise applications without custom development or new interfaces.
Whether you’re using Tableau, Power BI, Excel PivotTables, or legacy MDX-based systems, Timbr exposes the ontology as a native SQL-compatible source, enabling governed access to your data through familiar channels.
Key Capabilities
PLUG &
PLAY
Plug-and-play compatibility with existing tools.
REUSABLE
MODELS
SQL or MDX-based access to rich, reusable semantic models.
CENTRALIZED ACCESS CTRL.
Centralized access control & governance across all tools.
ONTOLOGICAL
INTELLIGENCE
Supports relationships, hierarchies, and inheritance transparently.
How It Works
- ODBC/JDBC: Query concepts, relationships, and measures in SQL from BI tools, notebooks, or applications.
- MDX: Leverage Timbr hierarchies and metrics for dimensional slicing, drill-down, and cube-based exploration. For more on how business users consume cubes in Excel and other OLAP tools, see: OLAP Consumption.
Key Benefits for Data Consumers
- Clarity: Query business concepts using familiar terms instead of raw table names.
- Simplicity: Skip repetitive JOINs, relationships are modeled once and reused.
- Efficiency: Focus on the insight, not the mechanics, queries are much shorter and easier to maintain.
- Power: Traverse relationships, filter on inherited properties, and query across multiple domains in one step.
