Use Cases for BI Blend

BI Blend is intended to provide focused reporting tables that are aggregated and saved as stored parent intersections for fast reporting at a later point in time.  BI Blend is not intended to replicate and entire cube, but rather focus on specific reporting use cases that result in many parent intersections that would not perform well under Calc-On-Fly aggregation. 

BI Blend also solves for use cases that are not pure analytic reporting problems.  Leveraging OneStream hierarchies, along with BI Blend configuration settings, it is possible to aggregate on a few dimensions (Entity or Account as an example) while including transaction information (Invoice number) that is not associated with a cube.  The ability to combine the dimensional structure with transaction details allows for selective enrichment of transactional data.
