You have a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) multidimensional cube. You need to enable users to view the cube data from an iPad. What should you do?

SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode delivers paginated reports but does not provide the interactive self-service cube exploration that Excel Services offers for mobile users.

A custom web application could technically work but is an unnecessary development investment when Excel Services already provides this capability natively.

Excel Services in SharePoint publishes Excel workbooks connected to SSAS cubes as interactive browser-based pivot tables and charts, accessible via Safari or any modern mobile browser on an iPad. It acts as a server-side rendering intermediary that translates SSAS cube data into HTML-based output suitable for iOS devices. This approach requires no client-side installation and provides native interactive cube browsing for mobile users.

SSRS in native mode delivers reports via a standalone web portal but lacks the interactive cube pivoting and filtering capabilities that Excel Services provides.
